It was, 1.26 million votes.
Democracy worked. Unfortunately it is increasingly common for those on the rough end of the pineapple to blame the greengrocer. Witness the pathetic bleating by the Hillary supporters about the electoral college system, those same people having had absolutely no problem with it when they thought she was a 92% chance of winning.
Nobody knows what will happen post-exit but I have enough faith in the Poms that they will cope. It may be hard times for a while but far better that than have their government go against the wishes of the largest vote in UK history.
Deal or no deal, March 29 needs to stand or Parliament should fall.
Good time to be selling yellow vests and pitchforks methinks.
1.26 million votes is not much when the population is over 66 million
The result was 51.9 leave vs 48.1 remain, that is small margin for such an important decision. Effectively nearly half the population are not happy with the result.
Any way matters not what you or I think, good luck to them what ever happens but I feel sorry for them being put in this position. I expect many wished it had never happen
