> Here was a democratically conducted vote for which >50% of a population voted "Leave".
50% of those who voted, not of the population. The turnout was ~70%; of that ~51% voted to leave.
So for every 10 eligible voters, 7 bothered to turn up. Of those seven 3.5 voted to leave; 35% of the electorate voted leave unless my maths and assumptions are incorrect.
