That’s another question, imho. Worth discussing, for sure. But I would say the rules of the vote were known before the vote. If one doesn’t agree with them, that’s obviously fine but they should have questioned them (and then their choice of not voting) before the vote, not question a result that is following the rules of that vote.
With a 72% turnout, only 37% of registered voters voted Leave. Should not voting be seen as a vote for the status quo?
