That's not true, the turnout is 76%. So the remaining 24% don't care. 0.51 * 0.76 + 0.24 = 0.62 So the majority of the population 62% are happy with decision.

- dangjc 10y agoYou can't add non voters like that because you could also say 0.49 * 0.76 + 0.34 = 71.2% do not support change.
- verroq 10y agoYeah but UK has voted to leave. If they voted remain then certainly we can say that. The non-voters don't care, so they are happy either way.
- peyton 10y agoSaying all non-voters are happy is a stretch. There are a lot of reasons somebody might not vote. Health, money, time, negligence, etc.
- zfcgch 10y agoIt'd actually be 0.24. (Or 24%.)
- timv 10y ago> You can't add non voters like that ... because 0.76 + 0.34 = 1.1
- verroq 10y agoI derped on the math. But the point remains.
