It wasn't really a majority. About a third of people eligible to vote, voted to leave. A good number of those, when polled about why they voted so, stated that they had seen advertisements that stated that there would be an extra £350 million per week available to the NHS if the UK left. This, of course, turned out not to be true. And as a result, many who voted to leave, when asked more recently, would now vote to remain.

Also taking into account the number of retirees who voted, many of whom have since died, and the younger people who have now come of age to vote (who would overwhelmingly vote remain), then it cuts that number even further. The people most likely to vote to leave were the older generation, while younger people (to whom the future belongs) overwhelmingly voted to remain.

There is also the issue of what that vote actually meant. Many of those who voted to leave, did not actually know what that would entail. We now know that it entails a great many things that the vast majority of this country are against: the potential repeal of the European Human Rights Act; an attack on worker's rights; no more visa-free travel to mainland European countries; a potential manned border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland; the removal of tuition fee caps etc etc etc.

I can tell you in no uncertain terms that the UK leaving the EU is going to create a negative environment for almost everyone, except the very wealthy people who promoted it by lying (many of whom have since moved their businesses to tax havens outside of Britain where they won't pay UK taxes; one of the disadvantages of Brexit is likely to be further tax loopholes for such people. Yet, they are the same ones who, throughout the campaign to leave, blamed immigrants and those on welfare for messing up the country's economy, when in fact, most lost revenue comes from tax avoidance).
