That is untrue. 51.9% voted for parties that did not support a confirmatory referendum.
You are including the Lib Dem vote who had other ideas.
Quote:
Every vote for the Liberal Democrats is a vote to stop Brexit and stay in the European Union.
For over three years Liberal Democrats have led the fight to stop Brexit. We campaigned to stay in the EU in 2016 and we unequivocally believe that the UK is stronger as part of the EU.
The election of a Liberal Democrat majority government on a clear stop Brexit platform will provide a democratic mandate to stop this mess, revoke Article 50 and stay in the EU. In other circumstances, we will continue to fight for a people’s vote with the option to stay in the EU, and in that vote we would passionately campaign to keep the UK in the EU.
