Then we'd have to hear the Brexiteers whining on and on about democracy.
This way we get to see their project fail.
I don't know which one is worse.

And in this case, it would also mean that Britain would've joined the EU with a 55%+ majority as well.
...or we have to listen to some people whine?
Few? 51% is a few? I mean, I also think Brexit was a monumentally stupid decision, but 51% of people wanted it, no?
Even assuming that everyone who didn't vote would have voted for remain, given the voter turnout of 71% (which is already very high for any election, typical turnout is around 57%), 35% of people said yes. That's not a few, that a big chunk.
And in any case, the point of my post was the "suffering", not the "few".
The best you can say about the Brexit vote is that 51% wanted something other than the status quo.
It was recently the 10-year anniversary of the Brexit vote. Not a single firework.
