Wasn't that the plan for Brexit referendum, to shut UKIP up? That turned out well.

  Like they ever would have gone away even if the vote was over 60% to remain. They'd have demanded a second referendum (and 3rd and 4th and 5th...) until they got the result they wanted.

    As Farage said: "In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way. If the remain campaign win two-thirds to one-third that ends it."

      It was around 52-48 and they have declared it finished business... Anyone with objections to a slim majority making such a sweeping decision is met with, "leave one, get over it."
