This is what happens when major decisions can be determined a simple majority vote. What does 52 to 48 mean? It means UNDECIDED. Half the country feels one way, and the other half feels the other way. For a change this large, it should require at least a 60/40 vote. If the population is undecided, why on earth would you suddenly stop what you have been doing for the last 50 years (which has worked out fine) and go down a different path? There needs to be much more of a push in the other direction.

It's important to point out that most of the UK jvoted to leave, where as every province (do they have provinces?) in Scotland voted to remain. It's a tad ironic considering Scotland voted to remain in the UK the other year - but I think they'll be leaving the UK soon.

I don't think the UK should remain because the vote was close, as once the Scottish vote is removed, it's much more than 52/48

No. It means 2% more people wanted Brexit.

In traditional arithmetic, 52 is 4 more than 48, not 2 more.

[alva]

In traditional polling terminology, this was a 2% shift

[dragonwriter]

Yes, its a 2% shift, but 4% more people wanted to leave. than stay.

[cygx]

Nope. There's a difference of 4 percentage points, but that does not mean that 4% more people wanted to leave.
