It is far more than half who voted to leave here - when we are talking of the actual British people and many many who did vote remain have changed their minds toward leave after seeing the way our politicos have behaved. The elite fear an election so will block it as they fear any second referendum because they would lose.
I have never been a great fan of democracy, as we have it, and now we see that it really does not exist, if it ever did. The best thing about Britain before entering the EU was that there was no central gov institutional presence within our local governance so that life went on in the same old way no matter who was in power - that stability is long gone, and forgotten, now by the uneducated youth --- yesterday afternoon I was watching the end of some silly quiz program, a group of young people were asked to name 10 counties bordering Greater London and Oxfordshire - I think they got 3 out of 10 and were naming towns as opposed to counties! They don't even know the counties of their own country! One of them even lived in Gloucestershire which borders Oxfordshire! They then found it all so amusing that they didn't know! --- We have such a long hard road to travel to undo the harms inflicted on us over the last 50 years - all of us - fighting the indoctrinated as well as the elite and if we don't begin it now it will be to late.
