I can't say I'm surprised that you might have preferred a supermajority, seeing as it would have favoured the position you happen to hold.

Our membership was affirmed by simple majority in 1975. It will be terminated as a result of a simple majority in 2016. Our dealings with the EU will thenceforth be a matter of government policy, just as they are in our dealings with the USA, Canada, India, China or wherever. None of these are referendum issues; they are part of a government's usual activity, and we can pass judgment on that by hiring and firing the government by the usual democratic process. If you want a say on how Brexit turned out, then you will get it in 2020.
