And that 995,770 is less than 6% of 17.4 Million who voted to leave the EU.

This comparing of numbers all the time is growing tiresome - nothing the Remainer protesters puts up will ever beat the actual vote, the vote that democratically decided we are leaving the EU.

It could mean wildly different things and affect us for generations, unlike general elections where we vote again in another few years.
This is nonsense - there has been no change and more crucially, you have no evidence to back this up with, where as two votes have taken place over 2 years. The EU Referendum and the Snap Election that took place a year after.

Both sets of Data from these votes, went for Brexit. 80% of the Electorate in the Snap Election went for parties who had a manifesto on leaving the EU. One other main party, the Liberal Democrats, went on a platform of wanting another referendum - they gained little seats. If the UK seriously wanted another Referendum, they would have voted Liberal Democrats, en masse, it never happened because the UK does not want a second vote.
