But is 2% enough of a margin for such a drastic decision? 2% of just over 17 million voters. I would agree if the UK had a 10%+ margin. 2% is such a tiny margin. Plus, the other countries compromising the UK voted to stay. The 2% was in Britain.

Now what happens if Article 50 gets enacted will mean dire consequences for the UK. It's conceivable that by this time next year the UK is just Britain.
Vocal minority, even if that minority is only off by 4%. Under the logic of 4% not being a big enough gap, should we elect our presidents only if they meet a 10% gap vote?

A gap between popular vote and electoral vote is fairly common. Let's face it, popular vote is dangerous
