I think the petition will need more than 17m (genuine) signatures before it'll have the effect it's aiming for.

Not saying the signatures so far aren't genuine, just that to have the desired effect it'll need to be reasonably free from doubt

Agreed. I thought the same while signing the original one right after the referendum result was announced — I wasn’t expecting to get what I wanted, but signed it in the hope of sending a “Of course I still love EU” message.
