Yes, but the question should be clearer. I personally think there should have been a bigger threshold to leave, rather than a simple majority. It's clear that the issue divides the country and if theres no clear majority we should leave things as they are. Interestingly, when Thatcher was ousted as Conservative leader she polled 55% of the votes but didn't get the 15% lead required by the rules at the time. Finally, remember Farage said before the referendum that if the vote was 48-52 in favour of remain we would gave to have another vote.

@SW-User That is a point but I think it's more the point that people were not told what they were voting on.
If this deal had been the one on offer during the referendum it would have lost by a landslide.

@Burnley123 Completely agree. It has been a compmete shambles from beginning to end. It was such a badly worded questiob that leave voters can interpret it in whatever way they want.
Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union.
Not as simple as it sounds.
