Happy to do so, but I do have to say this, shall we go back over past elections and see how much the whole of the UK population had their say or just those registered to vote, i.e the electorate against those who actually voted?
Not every person in the UK bothers to register to vote, who are eligible to do so, so that's their loss and so is the case for those who are registered, but still don't bother to cast their vote. They cannot complain after the vote took place because it did not go the way they wanted.
It's those registered to vote which matters, you're trying to undermine what was a high voter turnout for the referendum at 72% of the total people registered to vote.
46,500,001 people were eligible to vote in the referendum, only
33,577,342 of those actually voted. That's
72% turnout, that is very high. You cannot include the entire UK populace to try somehow lower the total voter tally to try and invalidate the result, IMO, you wouldn't be having this discussion at all, if Remain had won.
