While their opponents, Labour, the Liberal Democrats, The Scottish National Party and the Greens got more than 52% of the vote.
So the U.K. collectively voted against Brexit and Johnson.
Not sorry to burst your deluded bubble.
Canada and the U.S. likewise use 'first past the post' electoral systems which distort the will of the people [[true even when left-wing candidates are the beneficiaries).
The system should be scrapped in favour of mixed-member proportional representation with certain restrictions to minimize the risk of total nutbars.
In the case of a presidential system, if so desired, one ought to have a run-off ballot to ensure the support of 50% plus one for the winning candidate.
