"This was a democratic vote where everyone had their chance to vote and like it or not, the Leave Campaign won by a huge overwhelming majority which was the voice of Britain . again a huge overwhelming majority which was the voice of Britain " In terms of it being a huge majority I would disagree statistically only around 37/38% of the British electorate voted to leave the EU. With 28% of the people not voting at all. I won't comment on whether I think it's right or not right, the referendum terms determined that whichever side of the referendum for over 50% of the votes cast would be the majority and as such the will of the people. I wonder what the result would have been if the government had said there should be a 2/3rds or more majority in favour of exiting, would more people have voted, would more people voted no to the EU or yes? | |||

"Why is democracy such a bad thing when the result goes against you? If you want to play the statistics game, only one region in England (London) voted to remain. The rest of the country voted to leave. If the same system of counting for general elections was used, it would have been a landslide for the leave campaign. " I wasn't making a statement about my thoughts. He said the overwhelming majority voted to leave. I was stating statistical facts on the basis of his argument. And I never said the result went against my vote or not. | |||
