Say in the case of remain or leave the EU...
I think that the vote should only be cast by those wishing to leave.
So... wish to remain stay at home. Wish to change vote.
That way you have a 100% turnout of sorts.
The current scheme/party/rules etc. should be assumed to be continuing as it was before unless more than 50% of the voting population go out and vote to change it.
As it stands on 35% of the population asked for a change. Is that really enough?
This can apply to any referendum or even elections.
The rules are: staying at home IS casting a vote to keep things the same...
