    You're using your own definitions again.
    No, I googled it to be reasonably accurate. You seem to think it means "substantial" or words to that effect. It doesn't. I literally copy/pasted the google definition. You're the one defining words to suit you, not me.

    Oh fuck off.

    Decisive - clearly providing a definite result

    Definite - clearly stated or decided, not vague or doubtful

    The result was 52/48. Plenty of doubt there.

    Haha. If we recount, it might be 1,399,974

    There's your doubt.

    "Clearly providing a definite result".

    The result was clearly definite.

    I'm not disputing 52% is greater than 48% if that's what you mean. I'm disputing whether that difference means the population as a whole was decisively in favour of Brexit. Clearly it was not.

    "population as a whole".

    Nice shifting of goalposts. I'm only taking into account legal votes, and the result was...

    clearly definite, or to use a better word, decisive.

    So your arguments are:

    1. Arrrrggh democracy!

    2. Arrrgggh semantics!

    Well spoken.
