London still wants you! The city as a whole voted 60% to Remain. Every single borough except Sutton (arguably more culturally Surrey than London) was majority remain. City of London was 75% Remain, Westminster was 69% Remain.

60% total is still pretty tight. We are almost evenly split as a society, all across the world. Weird and sad.

It's 50% more remain in relation to leave. It's not tight at all.

That’s playing with percentages to make it look better, in my opinion.

It's not really.

It's 60% vs 40%. That's a difference of 20% of the total population of millions of voters. It's a pretty big difference in anything relating to politics and policy.
