I repeat my previous comment in case anyone misunderstood. 38% of the electorate voted to leave. 35% voted to remain. 27% abstained. Nowhere in there are any assumptions made about who the 27% would have voted for or why they abstained. Previously a number of people have stated that the abstainers 'could not be bothered'. That is an invalid assumption. The MPs who will vote on this will have to try and make a guess about the 27%. I do not envy them but they brought it on themselves.
