The signatories don't appear under the petition itself, so I presume you were looking at either "Show on a map" or "Get petition data (json format)".

Look at "Get Petition". In the first batch under the text of the petition is a category of "signatures_by_country"

The next batch refers to UK votes "signatures_by_constituency" followed - examples at random:

{"name":"Edinburgh South West","ons_code":"S14000025","mp":"Joanna Cherry QC MP","signature_count":4}

{"name":"Falkirk","ons_code":"S14000028","mp":"John Mc Nally MP","signature_count":3

{"name":"Paisley and Renfrewshire South","ons_code":"S14000053","mp":"Mhairi Black MP","signature_count":7

{"name":"Witney","ons_code":"E14001046","mp":"Rt Hon David Cameron MP","signature_count":4}

The total for signatories stands at the moment at 1,559.

Is there any chance that there will be a mad dash by April and that number will be increased to the necessary 10,000 or even 100,000?

I think it is perhaps time for the organiser to stand back a little and give consideration to the lack of support his/her negativity has within the populace as a whole.
Most people it seems are content to get on with their own lives without interfering in others' ... particularly it seems when that involves meddling with the investigation into the case of a missing child.

This risible attempt to influence politicians ... as stated by Blonk in one of his posts ... has been very revealing.  I think it has probably illustrated to constituency MPs that there is no need to rush to man the barricades when the continual war of attrition continues from the same quarter with some other petty grievance.

I think that at a stroke, this petition has made everything from this source an irrelevance as far as politicians are concerned.

Is Mr Amaral still hiding the Ace up his sleeve?  He worked out years ago that to keep them guessing one should never show one's hand ... for him it worked, although in fairness I've not seen it mentioned for a time.
The petition is a busted flush ... a huge miscalculation ... oh dear, never mind.

The real amount of signatories may even be around a third, depending on how full the sock drawer is...

Whats the problem?

Signatories are listed in totals by constituency

??

It does not depict votes by MPs.  No one knows how many MPs voted, if any.

Mercury, this was your original post:
Scores on scores on scores of MPs have signed this petition....I doubt they were "confused" Or saw it as "questionable".

Yes, that was my mistake

We dont know how many MPs may have signed. Do you have any evidence to show the "real" number of signatories being a "third"? Yes, no?

[stephen25000]

I  wonder how many people are aware that this petition even exists.

I doubt it has been mentioned in the mainstream media.

No idea.

Have you found any evidence as to how many civil servants sit down to wade through potential duplicates / socks  signing up to any particular petition?

One or two might if the petition is the only "news".

"No idea" / "potential" quantified by a "third"

As I thought - utter speculation

How many MPs signed up then?

We are here to speculate within reason.  We are not here to make your sort of "Mistake."
