The petition actually had over 4 millions signatures - the fact that it had more than 100,000 only meant that the parliament was forced to consider the issue for debate [0]. They did so and considered that the result of the referendum was valid and that there shouldn't be a second one.

Thanks for the clarification.

I don't think there's any other conclusion the UK parliament could have come to without destroying faith in the democratic process.
