    It's f*cked.

    66,694,399 = UK population.
    17,410,742 = Leave votes.

    "Will of people" = 26.1054% of the total population actually voted for Leave. The will of 66m people is not to leave, that is the will of a 1/4 of the population, mostly from up north and in poor, benefits riddled, uneducated working class areas.

    Assuming now a leave vote looses votes due to change of mind and gains a few, let's reduce it by 10% = 15669668.

    So in 2018 we can assume that 23.4947% of the UK population actually want to leave in 2018.

    This is the "will of the people" that idiot TM is charging ahead with (let's for a moment disregard her husband standing to gain ££££££££ from shorting the UK and turning UK into a tax haven etc.).

    • ok, so 66m includes babies and children and mentally ill etc.. but still... of those able to vote, it's not a 50%+ majority that want leave.shapesalad
    • it's fucked, yes.

      but you can't assume those that didn't vote wanted to stay.      hans_glib
