Ah. You are a referendum result denier. One of those people.

 No, I am quite sure that the referendum result was 37% Leave, 36% Remain.

 

In an advisory referendum the only thing that can be drawn from that result is there is no overall majority for either option therefore convention dictates that the status quo prevails.

 

Trying to claim a democratic basis for the UK leaving the EU when it has the support of less than 40% of the enectorate and 25% of the population is bonkers.

Where are you getting your figures from? The percentage of votes was 51.8% leave and 48.1 remain. You cannot use the percentage of the entrire population when they simply didnt turn out. 

As for the status quo, well the leave campaign got over 50% of the vote, so thats a crock what you said too, so god knows where you got your "convention dictates" speech from.

No, just the electorate.

You cannot use the electorate for your example. Its a bit like not playing the lottery then saying you would have had those winning numbers if you'd had a go. 

The people that did not vote knew how important this vote was. It was well publicised and was a simple yes or no. A hugely important democratic decision for the public to make. 

If they chose not to vote then their electoral right for THAT vote has been and gone. We all had the same chance to voice our opinion.

You're like a stuck record it was never mentioned before the referendum that it would be a advisory one only. I don't think you're stupid but by repeating this nonsense it's starting to look that way.

Which ever way the Brextremists spin it, after all the hype, fake news, electoral illegalities, financial irregularities,Russian involvement, lies on buses, and false promises the leave campaign could not convince more than 36.4% of the electorate to support them.

 

Despite all the government funded lies, Remain only persuaded 34% to support them. You can spin it how you like, more want to Leave than stay. Time to dry your eyes and accept that.

Those people aren't 'brextremists' , they are people with different experience and opinions to yours, when you can stop yourself using such silly divisive language, you yourself may come across as less extreme.

The scaremongering from the remoaners has now turned to gobbledegook.

Boy Dave had a different idea about the referendum.

 

" And remember : they cannot undo the decision we take.

If we vote out, that's it.

It is irreversible.

We will leave Europe - for good."

As you seem to take an extra special interest into what Dave said, I presume you agree that ukip supporters are fruitcakes loons and nutters.

Yes really. I listened to the debate and like you was told the result was irreversible.

If Brexiteers are so sure that the majority of the people in the UK support leaving the EU, why are they so terrified of a second referendum?
