It could be progressing quicker and with more clarity, but that's the problem of having remainers in charge of leaving and having a powerful elitist remainer 5th column lobby working with the EU to subvert the vote.

And hardly silent, they haven't stopped their petulant crying and whinging since losing the vote.

22 June 2016: Still no consistent picture
A final set of polls continues to give an unclear picture of the referendum outcome.
The gap between internet and telephone polls, which has been a feature throughout the campaign, still seems to be present.
Three online polls and one telephone poll have been released today.
Online polls by Opinium, TNS and YouGov are close to a dead heat. The single phone poll by ComRes gives Remain a modest lead.
Opinium and TNS put Leave ahead by very narrow margins: one point and two points respectively. YouGov also has the result practically neck and neck.

Got the same coverage time on the BBC I've been told.

Say there was to be a second refererendum (Leave/Remain) at what % Remain do you think it would be reasonable to favour the second vote over the first. At 52% Remain it would be tricky, 55% Remain? 65%% 75% 90% ? Where would you set the bar?

There will not be a second vote, nor should there be.

You could answer my hypothetical if your mind is not too closed.

There's no need - I'm not a great fan of referendums.
Keep up the ad-hom, it makes you look so much more intellectual.

Whether you're a fan of referendums or not is irrelevant. We had one, and there's an outside possibility of another. The question is designed to make you think, but if you don't have the capacity to do so, I won't hold it against you. You're set in your ways and see things in black and white, and that's fine.
