Not true. The electorate was 46,501,241 and the leave vote was 17,410,742, so about 37%. You're forgetting to take into account those who didn't vote.

I didn't agree to the terms, I didn't vote for Cameron and I still voted (remain). Why wouldn't I?

Those who didn't vote but could of effectively decided "I don't care enough to participate. You decide for me".

If they were too lazy go out in the rain, mark a piece of paper with a pencil or use a postal vote then they can't really complain after the fact.

I'm sorry if I sound a bit annoyed, this is not directed specifically at you, I just don't like the result.

The issue was important and the voting procedure for those eligible to vote was not onerous.

Yeah, I agree with you. It's particularly frustrating for me, as I'm in Edinburgh where 74% voted remain.

It's the second highest turnout in history. You can't assume everyone who didn't vote agrees with you, that's dumb.

I didn't. I also didn't assume they voted against me.
