Any large margin would, as I said, have massive implications for democracy if it was ignored but a 51-49% outcome is entirely inconclusive.

In my opinion - as tiresom as it would be - I personally think a result with a small margin like that should automatically trigger another referrendum in, say, 2 or 3 years time.

Now you ARE joking T.S. - None of us could endure another.

Just one thing - Are you saying that a 51-49 margin would still be inconclusive if Remain won by it?
