Yes - it's a majority, and that's how democracy works.
We have a prime minister that nobody's voted for, and Hilary Clinton got more votes than President Trump - there are lots of irregularities in a democracy but the referendum isn't one of them. We're doing the thing that more people voted for than didn't - there's nothing strange or unexpected about it.
Are you seriously suggesting that, in a democracy, we should do the thing that most people voted against and remain in the EU - just because you don't agree with it?
