"...and those too idle to vote are of zero significance. They had no impact on the final outcome. They are an irrelevance..."

You do not know why millions of people didn't vote. Some may have been too idle. Some may have been undecided. Some may not have felt qualified to decide. Some may have been too ill. Some may have been preoccupied with other serious matters in their lives. Some may have been opposed to referendums on principle. It is not for you to judge that non-voters were "too idle." As for having no impact, well the final outcome was a leave vote. I voted remain, therefore I also had no impact on the final outcome. I'm a member of your irrelevants just as much as a non-voter. This haughty attitude betrayed by you and a lot of others in your 38% demonstrates a severe lack of understanding of democracy.
