This is the crux of it for me for the whole Brexit process and could
so easily been resolved by:

1) Leaving the referendum to be the advisory poll it should only have
ever been and / or


and what use would that have been if it were only advisory ?



2) Requiring any decision to require a supermajority providing a
'clear will of the people' as you reflect above (50%+1 is not
'sufficient popular support' and hence doesn't (hasn't) gained
'natural democratic legitimacy, IMHO).


So you wouldn't want the democracy that we've used for the past few hundred years.
well as long as those voting know you've changed the rules and that those that chose not to vote you respect that right and don't label them as supporting either of the options on the ballot paper, whatever they are.




Ironically the latter was the very requirement Firage insisted would
be needed for him to consider a Remain win.


Why are yuo supporting farages POV, seems strange that you'd support what some would call a raging brexiteer, but it's hardly suprising is it.
