That is not my fault, it was the fault of David Cameron for not correctly setting out the terms of the referendum. There should have been a minimum 67% of the vote in favour of one side or the other. That way no-one could turn around and claim that it was a close run thing and not a real test of public opinion etc etc...If 67% voted remain then the status quo would prevail, 67% to leave, we would leave. Simple.
But what if, as happened, less than 67% voted either way?

I do agree that a bigger majority should have been required for change, but anything over 50% leave would still have resulted in major clamour for leaving.
