Re: Vogon
"It was a majority of voters just like wins any other democratic election. If you dont vote, your opinion doesnt count."
Of course it was not an election, it was a supposedly non-binding exercise in large sample opinion polling.
This is also why any referendum without mandatory 100% participation does not make drastic changes to national or supranational institutions on a 50% of the vote + 1 basis.
Furthermore, the Brexit Bunch seem to think that not only did people vote for leaving the EU, but they also voted for a whole bunch of more extreme policies that were not asked about in the referendum.... on the basis of Brexit promises so divorced from the reality that could be delivered, that they would, in a commercial transaction, certainly justify prosecution for fraud, misrepresentation, and breach of contract.
