Brexit and the subsequent deal will be one of the biggest events in our modern history and it's consequences, good and/or bad, will be be felt across the country and maybe even for generations to come. It's sheer lunacy to demand that only the 52% that voted for it have input into that. It's also pretty stupid tactically to intentionally attempt to provoke 48% of people who voted Remain.

Interesting. However, if we had voted to remain, would the remainers have listened to the exiteers on what kind of Europe we wanted it to be?
I doubt it, somehow.
