I believe joining the EU would boost the economy, increase global influence, improve collaboration and provide stability & freedom. I believe that Brexit hasn't brought any tangible benefit and there is no future prospect of any, that the UK has changed its mind and that this should be recognised.
First 72% is actually a huge turnout compared to pretty much any vote in the last 50 years.
The 28% that did not vote cannot be used to argue either side of the vote. As such they must be assumed to divide as the vote was.
Same with 1.9 % spoiled ballots. As we do not have any legal none of the above option. You have absolutely no way to decide that 1.9 % between those who support or don’t. So again statistically they have to be divided as those who successfully voted are.
This is exactly why we do not count non voters or spoiled votes when deciding on an election. If 1.9% was significantly higher then other election or 72% significantly lower. Maybe some data might make sense. But the result would still be the same without further info. You would still have no ability to use them as a rejection or support for the vote.
Non voters cannot be counted as objectors or supporters. Other then to assume the same divide as voters. Maling every comment you made statistically irrelevant to the result you are doubting.
If you fail to understand statistics please avoid discussions that are entirly about statistics.
What do you mean?
Yes and I responded appropriately.
Not the op you responded to.
But

That doesn’t contradict anything I said.
This is a non sequitur.
Regardless, OP was talking about votes explicitly.
Bollocks is it non sequitur.

We don’t have to count them as anything.
