Out of a total of 46,500,001 registered voters 72.2% voted (total 33,577,342),
the majority of those voted leave.

No this is important. There is no twisting here. Any idiot can do the simple mathematics. You need to accept the truth and move on.
We are all Leaving now so lets make sure we get a deal that caters for whole countries interests.
Surely even you cannot want a deal that alienates half the country. The word is compromise ..

This is precisely the point yet some are too blind to see it. There is no Winners or Losers here. To paint this black and white picture would be something only a child would do.
The real world is more complex. May has to be shrewd and play to the UK's strengths but compromise where it is in the UK's long terms interests.
She must also take a view to the security of Europe and the threat of Putin's Russia. Putin was estactic that we voted to leave the EU. It plays directly into his hands of divide and conquer.
Only by standing together can Europe hope to call Putin's bluff.
