Erm, no. The majority of those who voted, voted to leave. You can call it a minority but in that case those who voted to remain are
even more of a minority.
I take issue with your statement that those who voted to remain should have their wishes taken into account. They shouldn't. For the simple reason that their wish was to remain, which was the issue that they (you) lost over. Why the hell should the winners of this referendum allow the losers to dictate
any terms since those are likely to be contrary to the wishes of the winning side?!
