Correct - a little over half of the people who voted, voted to leave.

A little under half the people who voted, voted to remain.

Leaving is the stated will of 17.4 million people. The population of the UK is a little over 64 million.

So fuck you with your 'every British citizen' can be called stupid.

Unfortunately that is the nature of an election (or referendum). Everyone takes responsibility (or blame) for the results. We (all Americans) massacred 5000 American soldiers for no purpose in Iraq. Completely irrelevant whether I said George Jr (actually Cheney) was a liar. We all decided to massacre them for no useful purpose. We all take blame because a majority did not try to protect them.

All Britains must now take responsibility for those consequences (or flee to Scotland and demand succession or flee to the EU as an immigrant). You do have options.

Does a UK citizenship still provide some rights or privileges in Canada?

I know - you're quite right. It still rankles with me though :P

Aside from the fact all my friends and family are here - and the total lack of anything approaching adequate funds to move house ... Yorkshire is my home. Were I inclined to up sticks once the country runs aground, I'd have done so the moment the Tories got into power. All the shit that has happened to my country - and my class, was depressingly predictable once they were given free reign.

Don't know. Probably not ;p
