well yeah i'm sure a lot of people who didn't like the result would. but that isn't my point, my thoughts were a bit muddled at the time so sorry if it wasn't clear.
my point about this is to get people to a significant agreement on the action that should be taken. i'm well aware 51% is all that would've been needed legally i'm saying i don't think that's right. i'm saying democracy should work in the interests of the most people possible and not just a slight majority or plurality.

it really is a terrible shame this is being used as fuel for hate groups and xenophobes.

I think your thoughts are still a bit muddled.
" i'm saying democracy should work in the interests of the most people possible"
^ yes so when 1% means a few million people then this IS the case. If 6/10 people want X then how it is far to say that you can't have X due to 4/10 not wanting it? That by definition is not a democracy.
Otherwise really what is the point? A majority vote for something but they can't have it because its "not majority enough"? Makes no sense.
