Over 1.4 million people have now signed a petition against the suspension of Parliament announced by Boris Johnson's UK government on Wednesday.
There have been protests across Britain, and legal challenges have already been lodged.
The government insists it's part of the normal Parliamentary process and there will still be enough time to debate Brexit before the scheduled leaving date of October 31st.
UK lawmakers return to Parliament next week, and many are planning to mount challenges to the government's Brexit strategy before it is suspended days later.
UK correspondent Olly Barratt says the petition may not have a huge impact.
