That's not how it works - that 52% is not some uniform body with similar goals and vision beyond Brexit. This is the same challenge facing many popular revolutions - there is little uniting them beyond ousting Gaddafi, or "the 1%" (add Brexit to this list). Once they have "won", suddenly they realize they can't cater to everyone's wants and the whole thing splinters into factions.
