And 48-52 would have resulted in us remaining in the EU just as emphatically. It was a referendum with a binary question, no quorum and no supermajority required. As we have been over many, many times.

Incidentally, the reason the team is allowing Brexit discussion here is because for the most part it is presently relevant to Boris Johnson’s “new broom” approach to government and Brexit.

We aren’t about to allow the thread to collapse into endless pointless repetition of all the old, old arguments about the legitimacy of the referendum, the mandate afforded by the result or whether “nobody voted for X”.

So let’s try and keep things on track, please.
