Original Note:
It is misleading to compare “the electorate”, which includes people who didn’t vote, to “voters”, which does not. The referendum was also a binary choice, whereas an election is not. 52% of voters in the 2016 referendum, voted “leave”. 33.7% of voters in 2024 voted Labour. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_Kingdom_European_Union_membership_referendum
