Then their views don't count

Only in your (left brainer / Brexiteer) world mate.

and it's their own fault...

Of course it is ... their fault (in many cases) they weren't willing
or able to vote on little information?

Too brain dead

Nope, quite the opposite as many voted because they were racists or by
tossing a coin.

and idle more like.

Nope, turned up at the polling station and actually put more *effort*
into voting than you did (I had to write NOTA on my ballot paper).
Unfortunately people suggesting that those who didn't vote, didn't
care says more about you than you imagined.

The government sent every household a leaflet setting out the case. (In a very pro-remain fashion)

It did, but are you saying that I should have voted remain because of
that? What if leaving was the best thing for 'most people'.

I'll vote when I see the final deal and know *exactly* what I'm
supposed to be voting on in a RW / factual way. Not some BS principals
that may not affect anyone in a negative way (and possibly the
complete opposite).

You are on your crusade so you have your reasons. Most aren't and so
don't (and why only 1/3rd of the electorate voted as you did).

But writing NOTA was exactly equivalent to writing "I agree to go along
with the majority", you put more effort in, for less result.

It seems very clear now that you'd prefer to have the status quo ante,
rather than change, so couldn't you have *forced* yourself to make that
decision at the time?
