Now, where is the "wisdom of the crowds" when it comes to decisions that we, "the elites", don't like?

This annoys me. There is no doubt the result would have been "very fair" if it had been remain.

What we are seeing now is IMO hypocrisy and contempt of ordinary people at a scary level.

Now, did I want Brexit? No (I had no opinion). Do I think they should have requested more than 50% of the votes? As a conservative biased person I guess so, -don't take a risk unless there is clear demand, simple as a discriminator in electronics: you want to protect against bounces and wobbling...

- but this should have been said up front, not after losing.

Edit: upvoted this for the discussion, not for the original article.
