More than 50,000 people in Kent have signed a petition demanding a SECOND referendum on the UK's membership of the EU.

The results of Thursday's Brexit vote sent shockwaves around the world and led to the resignation of Prime Minster David Cameron.

And the repercussions are continuing, with more than two million people from across the UK signing a petition calling for the referendum to be held again.

The petition, which will now be debated in Parliament, states: "We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum."

However, constitutional experts say it has no chance of success.

In Kent, a total of 53,177 people had signed the petition by 9.45pm on Saturday. Tunbridge Wells - the only part of Kent to vote to remain in the EU - has provided most signatories.

The breakdown by constituency was:

• Faversham 3,258
• Canterbury 5,983
• Thanet South 2,923
• 2,369 North Thanet
• Dover 2,345
• Folkestone 3,283
• Ashford 3,613
• 5,953 Tunbridge Wells
• 4,252 Tonbridge and Malling
• 4,192 Sevenoaks
• Dartford 2,544
• Chatham and Aylesford 1,984
• Maidstone 3,608
• Sittingbourne and Sheppey 2,044
• 2,182 Gillingham and Rainham
• 2,644 Rochester and Strood

UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who has campaigned for the UK to leave the EU throughout his political career, said in May that a narrow win for Remain would lead to calls for a re-run.

He said in May that a result that saw Remain win by 52% to 48% would mean "unfinished business by a long way".

But Prime Minister David Cameron has said the referendum was a "once in a generation, once in a lifetime" decision, saying the UK had "referendums not neverendums".
