It was reducing it to a simple in or out that was the mistake. People should have been asked about things that would make them want to stay or leave. Then the government might have been able to make informed decisions about the way forward. And of course not having a clear percentage margin was a disaster.

Yes perhaps there should have been a clear percentage margin

Of course. It was totally irresponsible to circumvent our parliamentary democracy by an ill conceived referendum, asking for a simple answer to a very complicated question, when most voters had no concept of the likely consequences.

It was verging on criminal not to protect our status quo with the sort of minimum requirement for a substantial majority which would be required to change the constitution of your local gardening society.

How could any sane person not regret that such a thing was ever allowed to happen?
