If 99% of people were to vote for the Earth to become flat, would it? No. Cause and effect don't work like that.
Just because 52% of people voted for Brexit, does Brexit transform into a good idea that will be beneficial to the UK? No. Cause and effect don't work like that.

It is true that 52% of those who voted (not 52% of all registered voters, or of the UK population) voted for Brexit in 2016.
But that has no causal connection of any kind to the value of Brexit itself. Brexit was an utterly stupid idea before the referendum. It still is now.

That's why statements like "believe in Brexit" or "be positive about Brexit" are so empty and irresponsible. It's like saying "believe in the lottery" when your huge ambitious plan requires you to win the jackpot as the first step.
Great ideas don't require belief. They work because they're workable, not because of the power of faith. Brexit has never qualified as a great idea, and never will. It's not even a good, nor even a so-so one. It's lunacy. The fact that 52% of people voted for it changes nothing.
