Being unsure would favour the statu quo. The statu quo is not what won. You have 52% who wanted to change the statu quo, and the 48% who would be divided between unsure and in favor of the EU.


Yes, to an extent. 52-48 is quite too close to mean anything other than "the Leave vote won". A lot of voters could have changed their minds either way had the vote been a week ago, tomorrow morning, or in a month.


Exactly. If they held the referendum next week we'd probably get a different result. What a farce.


Many of the 48 % might also have wanted to change the status quo but were afraid of the economical consequences.
