Which would make a lot of sense... it should be a much greater majority.

You b*ggers won't let us in
LOL - nah it's only if you're coming by boat... otherwise it's fine.
It ranges - we're in the depths of winter at the moment - it can get pretty humid in the more northern cities but Sydney is pretty moderate. On stinking hot days it's hard to move without needing a new work shirt, but the upside is that there are a zillion beaches in short distance.

Which is another thing I find puzzling - how was 50% the pass mark?

Especially for something that is so important.
Indeed. And there's the crux of it all and why the British press and media have been so willing to propagate the campaign disinformation and lies. Vested interests.
Whip up a populist revolt in the name of "taking back control" whilst actually taking away control and disenfranchising people further.
Which is why all the "we won" gloating on here is so deeply tragic.
Grand prize of - some of the biggest daily moves in the £, and nationwide share prices. Congrats you are now 10% poorer than last night!
https://petition.parliament.uk/ crashed just now because of the influx of signatures on that second referendum petition. Back up now. It has gone up by 25,000 signatures since my last post about it.
e; Just went up by 1000 signatures since writing this...I was refreshing it earlier and it was going up by 100 every few seconds for a while.

Signed. Can't be bothered with a bunch of racist fossils ruining our future.
This is also coming from a guy who was accused of being a racist multiple times in the immigration thread. So i'm not exactly a sit around the campfire and sing kumbaya kind of guy. But I knew from the beginning the importance the EU holds.

Sorry...
Can we ban being ignorant as well though please? (not referring to you in case you wondered, im not that stupid/brave)
It would be great if in threads like these you had to answer randomly generated 10 fact based questions about the debate before entering. If you fail on more than 5 you would have to go away and research a bit more before trying again.
Would solve a lot of problems, but would be pretty empty in here.

What the majority of them fail to realise is that in order to bolster the economy taxes are going to be leveraged to settle the market. Seeing as the major tax paying component of the nation is the lower socio-economic groups, they're going to be the ones hurt first and hardest. Big earners have many ways of dodging the taxman so they couldn't give a damn and a slight rise in goods and services won't make them blink. However average Joe on 17-20K per year with 3 kids living paycheck to pay check are going to see their quality of living drop significantly.
Personally I think it's a criminal price to pay for listening to people that don't have an honest bone in their bodies. Trusting a politician and what they say is foolish in the extreme and the end result has been voting with hearts and not minds.

Even better, have a system like this before you can collect your ballot paper to vote. Trouble is, "what is the EU?" might have stumped quite a lot of people
I don't know about that. Boris may be the best option for this as he is the least entrenched of the Brexit figure heads. He seemed to chose leave only for political reasons, rather than a burning desire to leave Europe.
He's the best hope we have I think of having any reasonable access to the free market, even if it means giving away what many brexiteers were fighting for.
Edit:
I doubt that would stop the disappointment of many leavers.
