If you don’t vote, you choose not to be heard. So please stop trying to ‘hear’ those who abstained from the vote.
The referendum was not flawed. Every eligible person had a vote and was able to do so without hindrance. There are a great many countries where they would laugh in your face for suggesting any vote held in the U.K. in the last century might be described as “flawed”.

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.

I sincerely doubt you would be making this argument if the result had been the exact reverse.
