The difference was 1.7 million. EU nationals could not vote, Brits abroad for more than 15 years could not, so it would have needed 1.7 million...
Had all 3.3 million EU nationals in the UK been able to vote, it would have been extremely close or just about Remain (assuming 50% bothers to show up and not all vote Remain cos, well some wouldn't) but of course they didn't want that to happen.

I'm visiting London from Ireland on November 8th. I would like them to delay all this for 10 days so I can avoid any disruption please. After that, have at.
We've had 2 very high profile referenda here in Ireland in the last few years that thousands of people felt compelled to come home for and vote in. I think if similar had happened for the EU referendum, it would have gone the way of the remainers ever so marginally.
