Don’t disagree with your point but it was only a 51.9/48.1 split of votes cast.
In raw numbers only 72.2% of eligible voters actually voted and so the split against the total pool was:
37.5% of voters for Brexit
-34.8% of voters against Brexit
-27.8% of voters did not vote
It is what it is and we are where we are but I feel two points quite strings about these figures:
-Little over a third of the population upset the established norm to our collective detriment on empty promises and questionable rhetoric.
Just under a third of our population didn’t even turn up and threw away there say in something that was going to be permanent and far reaching to their lives.
It just rubs me up the wrong way how so few can affect so many on such aobg term basis. This isn’t on the scale of having you choice loose at an election as those are time limited. This was permanent and way more intrusive.
