You could put it even more strongly, Steve. Of the 52% that voted Leave, 48% could have voted the same way with never a racist thought in their entire lives, and that 2% of racists *could* swing the result. I say could because some of them would still have voted Leave on other grounds.

And I point that out because Remainers are often accused of labelling all Leavers as racist. Not so - it just needed a minority to affect the result.
