Government to give financial assistance to remain voters looking to leave UK

What the petition asks
Remain voters are increasingly being ignored and insulted by ministers and brexit voters for voicing concern on the direction our country is taking. We are told we can leave if we don't like it. As such, I call on the government to provide financial assistance to remainers looking to leave the UK.
Brexiters have also declared they would be happy to be much poorer if it means Britain leaves the EU. Some have even said they do not care if it results in their family members losing jobs.
Seeing as a lot of remain voters aren't wealthy, I suggest the government allow every remainer to claim up to £1million from the treasury in order to start a life in Europe, buy a home, and apply to remain an EU citizen. This can be means tested based on savings. This is likely to result to a more united UK.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Parliament or Government do not provide financial assistance based on how people vote.
The UK Government and Parliament also don't have the power to allow people to apply to remain EU citizens.
