The turnout was huge and the result was conclusive. I take it you did not make this point at the last 4 elections in the UK?

it does make sense in the context that a ref is advisory where an election is legally binding. Farage was prepared to continue the fight and push for a new ref if he lost .... he said exactly that, so why is it such a shock that the side that lost in the ref want it run again?
There is nothing to say that there is a limit on number of refs, no-one stated that the ref wouldnt happen again (only the SNP made that pledge for the indy ref)
