27% of the UK voted to leave, 73% didn't - people under 18 who will bear the brunt of the decision had no vote such as not having the opportunities of freedom of movement. A colleague at work who was born in Netherlands but has lived in UK for 30 years had no vote. The reason for the referendum was that the government used it for political convenience as they were worried that if they didn't promise it they would have lost power due to losing votes to the UKIP neo-fascist imbeciles. Thirdly the exit campaign was centered around LIES. Therefore in my view, it has no legal standing apart from the view of nasty, rabid ****s like May, Johnson, Davis etc.
