We aren’t trying to delegitimise the result. But by definition to say leave is what the majority of the electorate want, or the population want, it’s verifiably untrue. The number fails to meet the definition of majority of both the 46 and 65 million figures.

It’s what the majority of the people who chose to vote on a given day want. By definition that’s how a referendum is won and lost - I wholeheartedly agree with you on that point. That on it’s own doesn’t delegitimise the result.
