The 2016 EU Referendum was a legitimate democratic decision, despite claims that a 2% swing could have changed the result.

These would be based on the EU’s standard accession criteria, known as the Copenhagen criteria, and additional specific considerations arising from the UK’s previous membership and its exit process.
