Had the referendum been the other way round by exactly the same margin, obviously run under the same rules, confirmed by Parliament by a large majority, undoubtedly it would have been perfectly legal, the margin totally acceptable and the population fine upstanding folk. Obviously the promises given by D.C, with the approval of the H of C were in fact to prevent, in the event of a close run thing, leavers rearing up and demanding another vote. Unfortunately this cunning plan actually back fired dramatically, and so now, remain are having to wriggle round declaring that leave won on lies, homophobia, the uneducated, racists, in fact anything does you can think of in order to break their parliamentary word in order to justify another referendum, even calling it a people's vote to sound more cosy and inclusive, and to make sure us ill educated folk know what it actually means!!! No, we're not the stupid etc etc ones, Parliament are, they are the arrogant fools for presuming that remain would win and that in the event of a narrow margin any dessent had been successfully silenced, well it has, only the wrong way round!!
