As to Chris' "biased viewpoint" - it was the counterpoise to your nonsense.

Your involvement of the non-voting electorate is gibberish, they literally did not vote and so they are irrelevant to the point being made.
37% of voters literally, legally and factually decided the future of the country. That's it, no ifs or buts.
What is ironic and so telling is that if the Brexit referendum followed the same rules as Scotland’s first referendum on devolution, the Leave vote would still have won – but Brexit would not now be happening. Those voting ‘Yes’ for devolution was only 33% of registered voters, Scotland on that occasion didn’t get its own assembly, because Parliament had set a threshold of at least 40% of the electorate voting ‘Yes’ before it could happen.
