How different things would be if David Cameron had agreed to the demand to make victory for the leavers dependant on their winning in all four parts of the UK. I've never seen any explanation as to why he made a decision like that. Sheer stupidity and arrogance?

The other thing that would have made all the difference is if migrants from EU countries had had the same right to vote as those from Pakistan and India and other Commonwealth countries. In the Scottish referendum they were allowed to vote. So were 16 and 17 year olds.

Three ways out which would have made all the difference, all perfectly justifiable in terms of democratic principles.
