What they are doing is combining all the parties who are remain and saying they are the majority as overall it was around 56% remainers and 44%, leave parties that's all of UK by the way! on that basis they are saying people want another referendum? Whatever happened to the winners won and losers lost?

The same happens in football, you can twist stats and figures to support your views.
If you add them together yes it looks like remain voters won, but the turnout was only 37% compared to nearly 70% in the referendum.
And theres no guarantee people who voted for cons or labour are remainers anyway.
Another way of looking at it is Brexit won 9 out of the 11 regions so in theory won by a margin of over 80% countrywide.
It's easy to twist stats to support your agenda

Labour and Tory voters are excluded from his analysis.

What maths? Last time I looked Brexit won most seats so how does your maths make remain winners? You do know it's the ones who win most seats that win not combining all remain votes and say we got more votes than you so we win? We do not do proportional
representation in UK when voting!

Very true though I know a second referendum would be just a vote count.

For leave you would ukip, Brexit, Conservative votes.
Labour's policy (seems) to be brexit needs to be delivered - therefore it's a Leave party. Well it was a leave party before the eu elections.
So add those up and what do you get ?
The only thing I would say is that possibly dont add the Labour vote to either leave or remain - as it's a confused vote. Labour London - remain, Labour in the North Leave

I meant to say that related to the original referendum fall out. I remember once Soubrey stating that remain had won the referendum that on the basis that only 37% of electorate had voted to leave ignoring the fact that on that basis only 34% had voted to stay.
I wouldn't take much from Thursday's result in terms of where the country stands on leaving. Its still pretty evenly split. A slight concern for me is that I cant see where we get a goverment from that will take us out, no matter the feeling in the country, Realistically only the tories will take us out and I cant see where they get anywhere near enough of a majority to do that. Farage isn't electable on that scale although he'll cause chaos in leave areas at the next election. Depressing but I see this going on for 10 years or more.

oh the maths are right if you make massive assumptions about the figures your adding up..
I don't see how you can assume anyone that voted for most of those parties did so purely on a leave/remain basis..plus the turn out was much smaller than the referendum.

We will never be allowed to leave the EU, and that is something I came to accept quite a while back. We are one of just 7 countries who are paying in more than they get back, and with Germany being the only country who pays in more than us as a net contributor, the EU needs our money. However we vote, we are stuck with this and nothing will change. We will continue to see our services eroded, while helping the poorer nations to become richer. Charity does not begin at home in the UK.

Perfectly summed up Steve and if more people in the country thought like this then the vote to leave would be even higher
They may have lied about the 350m on the bus but the point they were getting at is we effectively give away £20bn a year to the EU for what a few grants from the social fund
Personally I’d rather leave and take the chance that we invest the 20bn in the right areas in our own country
