Just curious then, how does the voting system work in America, so say
if 75% of the population voted and 51% of those voted for Trump to be
the next president
would Trump be president?

You obviously have not taken much world history. Have you never heard of "The sun never sets on the British Empire?"
I grew up in a classroom with a world map full of pink. A huge amount of pink. Pink was every place that was a part of the British Empire, which later became the Commonwealth.
Canada was never a "territory" of Britain. We started as a colony, which means that we gave a lot of raw material to England. Which they paid for. And they helped us with military and defense, laws (until 1982, our laws basically had to be approved by England. At that point, our constitution was repatriated, by Trudeau Sr.) Since then we have been a country ruled by the judiciary, as opposed to a democracy, which Britain respected. Until just before Confederation, Canadians traveled freely to Britain as British subjects. Think an earlier EU, but with much tighter bonds and respect.
We still have the Queen as head of state, although other than some royal visits by various members of the Royal family, the ties are more historical, and certainly not business.
But, we got an excellent start as a nation because of our ties to Britain, and many Canadians, including myself have British ancestors.
No, Canada was never a territory. And neither were most of the other major countries of the Commonwealth. I am very excited about Britain leaving the EU. It is a concept which was doomed for failure. I read Merkel, the German Chancellor believes that the EU is the only thing that stops major wars in Europe. What a joke! We have bigger fish to worry about in the world pond, when it comes to war, than historical countries in Europe.

One thing about Trofimus is he is Czech, a communist country. He comes out with the same rhetoric as those in the EU do. Here are a few things that Nigel Farage has to say on it. People do not like Nigel, it is a shame, hes not a racist but a brilliant politician, astute and very outspoken against the evil of the EU. Here is a video of Nigel in action tearing into the EU bureaucrats and telling them how it is. Predicted quite a few things as well which have come true. So Trofimus, please have a listen and maybe you will see how things really are. I doubt you will though.

Problem with this whole immigration thing is people do not really understand it. Farage does and continually brings this up in his speeches to the EU and tells them how stupid they are for allowing anyone who lands on EU soil, the right to stay in Europe. SO what is going to happen? countless people will throw passports into sea and claim they are Syrian refugees, when in fact they are not. Interpol estimate that as many as 5000 ISIS operatives are now in Europe as a result of coming in as a refugee.
This was the point NIgel was getting over with his poster, but it backfired a bit as people do not understand and calling him a racist and picking on poor Syrian refugees. Nigel quite rightly points out that genuine refugees do not behave in the way this lot do, we should turn the ships back like the Australians did, and within a couple of days that will all come to an end.

I don't give a dog if someone calls me a racist ..these muslims have killed and raped and acted like animals ..they have proven as a people and a religion, they cannot be brought into western culture, until some real changes and reform takes place at the heart of islam. Anyone dumb enough to give their rights away to a government like the EU, is so stupid they don't deserve to be called a thinking person.

Yes, 52% of the 72% who showed up to vote. It's math.
Do you make irreversible decisions for them either? And, at least theoretically, they have delegated some of their powers to representatives in your Parliament, not to a referendum on the street.
I make no such assumptions.
I guess it's infallibility has been established then.

A referendum on the street? ... "mob rule"? I cant believe that I'm even reading such statements ? I think a very large percentage of the EU officials are ex-communist .. We have a communist take-over of Europe going on and democracy is being treated as if its nothing. I cant believe its gotten as far as it has and pray to God he destroys the whole evil thing.
I do not think the Vote Out supporters on here are arguing the process was infallible so much as it was as fair and functional as one could reasonably expect a vote to be.
There is still more game to be played. If the people who wanted to stay in the EU still want to stay in the EU, they can influence the divorce proceedings so to speak. I predict they will since everybody seems to have a different idea on how a post-Brexit UK should be governed.
Be vigilant and be organized, Outers.
