			What this does, above all else, is put to bed the Remainers mantra of “you didn’t know what you were voting for” and that I’d there was another referendum it would be slam dunk for Remain.
 When they quite obviously did and it would quite obviously would not be.

			Change U.K. - 3.4LibDem - 20.3
 Plaid - 1
 SNP - 3.6
 Green 12.1
 
 40.4 = Remain at all cost
 
 Brexit - 31.6 = Leave, with no deal if necessary
 
 Tories - 9.1
 Labour - 14.1
 
 23.1 Leave, with a deal only
 
 So I don’t see how Remain won?

 |  Well he only said the Remain vs 'Hard' Brexit parties. There were were voters for the former.
 
The overall question depends how you view the Labour votes IMO. Since Labour's positions is rather split with their backing of a vote if they can't get an election. 
 
I think the vote shows how split the country is.

 If we ignore the whole 'let's add all the parties up' and just concentrate on what it means for Parliament it's not helped much.
 
The Tories didn't just lose to the Brexit Party, they lost to the Liberal Democrats too. 
Labour didn't just lose to the Liberal Democrats, they lost a lot of Northern seats to the Brexit Party.
