My favourite analogy for the Brexit vote is as follows: Imagine if you will, voting on what to have for dinner. 30% are vegetarian 30% eat only pork 30% eat only beef 10% eat any meat Now, if the only two options are meat or no-meat, then you're going to get 30% voting for no-meat and 70% voting for meat - a clear majority. However when you got to the shops, what do you buy? Pork will only satisfy 40% and beef will only satisfy 40%, so you're going to end up with 60% unhappy with the choice.
