@allansinclair4172 - Thank you Allan, this fact is something I have been trying to elucidate to those who are interested, for some time now. The positive vote to leave the European Union was not "overwhelming", which many try to say. 37% is not an overwhelming majority. It's actually a significant minority! The vote should never have been based on a "simple majority". The stakes were too high for the ordinary man and woman in the street (including me) to be burdened with.
