It's only being made complex by people trying to keep us tied to a corrupted union.
And - you're making the mistake of trying to include the entire populace in your argument.
The 2016 EU Referendum was one of the largest Democratic processes undertaken in modern British History.
Those who were entitled to vote, but didn't because they could not be bothered cannot be included in a total percentage argument. There will never be 100% Turn out. Those who chose not to vote, cannot complain after, if they did not agree with the Democratic decision.
A section of the populace are Children, who are quite rightly, not eligible to vote.
There was a snap election almost a year after the referendum. Voters in their millions voted for two parties, who had Manifested their intentions to follow the result of the EU Referendum, some 80% of the total votes cast.
So trying to use misleading statistics to de-legitimise the "Leave" decision, is totally disingenuous and wrong.
