Wales voted by a 52.5% to 47.5% margin to leave.
There are very few countries in the world where a non-binding referendum with that kind of margin would be considered a mandate to make a fundamental change to the constitutional basis of the country.
- asdfgadsfgasfdg 10y agoSo they voted to leave by a bigger margin than the UK as a whole did then.
- random_comment 10y agoCorrect, a narrowly bigger margin. I think if '52-48' is redefined as a 'big margin' then it becomes very hard to define 'a narrow margin' without running into the impact of statistical noise.
