He knows damn well that the only votes that matter are those cast yet he keeps dragging out those uncounted, don't give a toss what happens numbers when it suits him.
He should go into politics as he seems ideally suited.

Best defend myself then
The reason why I correct the regular lies that 52% of the country voted to Leave is that it did not. By constantly putting forward this assertion gives the impression that it was the "will of the people" in a populist sense. It is open to debate the exact number of people in this country that did, do and will, going forward, agree with Leaving.
What is beyond doubt is that the country is divided and fractured on this matter. There is no "will of the people" here.
Of course I accept the mathematics of the Referendum vote. You have to be stupid not to do so. However, you would also have to be stupid to misrepresent it.
Any Brexit deal must cater for both sides of this divide since the consequences for such a seismic, structural change in our society impacts all especially the younger generation who clearly did not want this.
So please go ahead and shout me down for standing up for what I think is right ...
