Interesting read, thanks. I do find the logic hard to follow though (i.e. polls before referendum were totally wrong, but polls post referendum that support my view are definitely right). I appreciate there are nuances in the article about Remain voters not turning out to vote, but there doesn't seem to be much (other than his personal opinion) to suggest anything would be different a second time round regarding voter turnout.
Just such a shame people didn't go and vote. I can't imagine being completely apathetic to something like this.

I agree. I'm skeptical of polls - especially ones this close - so I think it's fair to be suspicious. I do think it raises an important issues - that the reality may be that the majority does not want Brexit (and there are a few reasons for this - complacence, personal reasons, administrative). We seem to have some evidence for this. What is more, data seems to show that the trend is going in the direction of remain.
I think it's fair to say this complicates the repeated claims of "we won!" or "you lost!", and perhaps a better government would attempt to engage with these details. His position is for a second referendum to take place now that more people are aware of the consequences, and one which allows the younger population the opportunity to state their position.
I guess reading the bio of an author is much easier than reading, and reflecting on, what they actually wrote.
