I know the leave voters will respond with but 52% of those who voted chose leave. This is still less than 4% more than voted remain, far too tight to be a wholehearted endorsement of Brexit.
But we all knew before we voted in the referendum that all that was needed was a straight democratic majority one way or other so to complain about it afterwards is basically tantamount to sour grapes.
