The majority of votes in a referendum but are a minority of the citizens of the UK.

There's  a minority of citizens holding up the process of brexit.

The government used widespread intimidation and electoral fraud to secure a large "yes" vote, that sounds familiar 

Not really as non of that applied to the EU referendum as there was no fraud or intimidation.

The wording of the referendum question was:

The office of the President of the Reich is unified with the office of the Chancellor. Consequently, all former powers of the President of the Reich are demised to the Führer and Chancellor of the Reich Adolf Hitler. He himself nominates his substitute.

Do you, German man and German woman, approve of this regulation provided by this Law?

Ah. You mean 'Project Fear' in which the government attempted to intimidate and scare the electorate into supporting our membership of the EU. 

 

British voters rejected this Nazi style tactic and voted to Leave.

Er, Jo Cox was murdered by a right wing pro-Brexit terrorist.  Social media was full of threats.

 

Leave campaigns have been fined for multiple counts of electoral misdeeds.

 

Are you living on another planet?

As you have already stated Jo Cox was murdered by a right wing pro-brexit terrorist. Social media is a different kettle of fish also as not everybody takes part in social media, and those that do it seems can be fairly anonymous and say anything they want whether true or not. Unfortunately that what you get when its all about profit, likes and ratings.

No its just that I dont spin links about what people think happened just to justify their anti-brexit stance.

They didn't reject the 'Turkey (population 76 million) is joining the EU" nazi style propaganda did they?

 

Josef Goebbels would have been very proud of that one.

Are the Tories going to maintain their initial stance of not campaigning in these elections?

 

One way to hid the fact they are going to get demolished.

All the things I’ve posted are factual.

 

And, if the remain campaign broke the law too then that makes it even worse and does not cancel out the wrongdoing on the leave side.
