point (1) . . mandate or not, it's getting closer to it every day

point (2) . . doesn't matter how 'close' the vote was, one side won, one lost.

If a horse wins a race by 10 mm they don't ask for a re-run because it was too close to be a result. If you avoid a car crash by 6 inches, nobody suggests having another try
