Sorry, it was just 52% of those who voted.

Far too few for a major constitutional change. A threshold should have been set,

Some people, who voted for it, have now changed their minds, and good for them,

But saying that 'the whole lot' of us voted for Brexit is just as untrue as it would be to say that 'the whole lot' of Americans voted for Trump.

I certainly voted Remain, and would guess that all UK DU-ers did so.
