We have not got proportional representation. Neither does the USA - Hilary Got the popular Vote in the USA.
This is not relevant - The rules are the rules.
If you want to change the rules, do so. then vote.
Nicola Sturgeon is completely wrong too. we voted to stay in the UK( i didn't, most did). therefore we are part of those that voted out of Europe. To say the popular vote means anything on this issue is breaking the rules of the game.
Scotland always votes against the Tories since 1950? It votes with the poor. Every election we've voted Labour/SNP and we get Labour sometimes and sometimes we get Conservative. Where was the pleas for voting rule changes?
Proportional voting is true democracy. every vote counts and we voted it down. ?
play within the rules, till they make sense.

we voted to reject proportional representation, I recall.
Bargaining chip for lib dems when sharing power.
That went well Nick, didn't it. And you say we should stay in the EU?
What a w@nker

Agree 100% with the OP.
There's a graphic doing the rounds 'proving' that the majority of the population of the UK did not vote for Bre4xit, showing those who did not vote and could not vote.
To me, this merely betrays the lack of coherent argument by the Remain voters.
Democracy is run by people who know and play by the rules and who turn up.
I am amazed that someone has not asked Sturgeon that since she was on the wrong side of the last two mass votes in which she and her party participated in (The Scottish Referendum and the EEC Referendum) where she thinks she has the moral authority to call for another referendum for Scottish independence?
At what molecular level do we stop drilling down to regarding who voted for what? Scotland may well have voted to Remain in the EU but the result of the Scottish referendum vote makes that an irrelevancy. If we have to take Scotland, in isolation as a separate entity in its own right into oonsideration, why not take the north of England (a larger portion of the UK population@ into account? My constituency? My town? My street?
The UK voted in the EEC referendum under the (de facto) rules governing that referendum and the result is binding on the UK, not different entities within the UK.

We all had two or three years to decide about Brexit - I was screaming to get it sooner - the Conservatives pushed it to the back burner.
I still maintain some guys made a bundle off the decision deliberately - but that's by the by.
To say people did not understand the issues. Means that two years was not enough time to toodle along to the local library and find out?
It means they were idiots?
