The vote of 48% remain was a percentage of those who actually could be arsed to vote and even then some only voted when they were told to do by Facebook. The resultant surge from that meant that the voting deadline was extended in the hope that the ranks of the remainers would be swelled by younger voters.

The majority of votes in the referendum (over 17 million) voted leave. That's twice the number of people that live in your country.
