No, they don't. There's clearly more than 70000 fraudulent signatures if there are 30000 from Vatican alone.

Dunno about then, but there don't appear to be anymore: {"name":"Vatican City","code":"VA","signature_count":58} See for yourself: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215.json

It's entirely plausible that whoever wrote the script intentionally designed it to submit a large chunk of votes from "Vatican City" to try and discredit the petition, especially given /pol/'s political leanings.

{"name":"Vatican City","code":"VA","signature_count":58} Where did you get 30000 from?
