David Davis said "The mandate for Britain to leave the European Union is clear, overwhelming, and unarguable."

And Farage said, before the poll "In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way"

How right he was, although perhaps not quite in the way he meant.

Well then he's either a fool or misrepresenting facts. I recall the difference being less than 4 percent points which cannot be called significant in a referendum under any circumstance.

I'm not even saying Britain should leave or stay, the whole methodology is wrong here. With close calls this is equivalent to flipping a coin, and only because it's a close call we accept the given outcome. Or in this case, many don't because they didn't think it'd come to this, but that's beside the point.

> Anyone who calls this a clear victory or clear majority is kidding themselves

And yet I believe that words to that effect have been used in parliament.

It's as clear as almost any election result has ever been in the UK.
