I'm not generally happy with the idea of assuming those people who didn't vote on the day would have voted in one direction or another; but given that EU citizens who've lived in the UK for many years were excluded from voting we can assume that a lot of those would have voted to remain had they been given the choice.
Unfortunately if we did have another vote the only outcome which would be decisive would be another leave result.
The leave campaign didn't define a vision of brexit beyond vacuous slogans. It left the door open to any dream of what brexit could mean. This is irrefutable in spite of their protests to the contrary.
