And this is why statistics can be misleading - 72% of the population turned out for the vote. Almost a record.

It's pointless at best, actively harmful at worst, to compare the voters vs the non voters in an attempt to make the result seem undemocratic. The non voters abandoned their ability to influence this issue; if they had wanted to participate, they had plenty of opportunity to do so.

72% of voters, not 72% of the population. Kids don't vote, neither do transient workers and a few other demographics.
