A petition signed by more than 1.7 million people has no chance of securing a second EU referendum, according to the nation's top elections expert.

Thursday's referendum saw 17.4 million votes cast to leave the EU, compared with 16.1 million for remaining part of the bloc, with a turnout of 72.2 per cent.
