What baffels me is that the Brexit referendum is won by such small margin!
Shouldn't referenda have the explicit consent of at least 50%+1 vote of the electorate, or otherwise fail?!
Turnout: 72% of electorate
Leave: 51.89% (37% of electorate)
Remain: 48.11% (34% of elecorate)so in my scenario neighter Leave or Remain passed the 50% threshold: referendum undicided.
