When a referendum ends in such a small majority, another referendum should be held. This might be the opinion today, but tomorrow it's 49%, yesterday 52%, the next day 47%, the other day 52.5%. The result is COMPLETELY random, NO democracy. Well it is democracy. It's just a stupid use of it. Decisions of this magnitude should not be left to the people. Edited just now by LebaneseDude.

How is a vote by the people of the UK not Democracy? I say that this vote to leave, this referendum as a whole, is undemocratic. - the result is random and doesn't necessarily reflect the long-term opinion of voters. - the Leave campaign was based on lies, lies and lies. That's all it was based on. The right saw they couldn't win with actual arguments, so they made up things about bananas, immigration and turkey, rather than focusing on the EU itself. They lost the economic argument, they lost the healthcare argument. This decision is based on racism and hate for minorities. 1 minute ago, Sara said: Well...I guess my next trip through the UK will be cheaper then. Yay? :\ Guess who's going to the UK next week will be a lot cheaper. Praying for a financial crisis.

It's not about "Father knows best'. It's how the populace elects representatives who are well versed in the relevant matters that would give them a reasonable opinion on the subject.
