Brexit should have needed 60% vote in favour, says Tory Brexiteer minister

Brexit-backing Tory minister Steve Baker has admitted that the historic vote to leave the EU should have required a supermajority of 60 per cent.
The Northern Ireland Office minister and leading Leave campaigner made the comments as he suggested a “50 per cent plus one” majority would not be advisable for a vote on Irish unification. The 2016 referendum on ending EU membership passed with a roughly 52 per-48 per cent split in the UK population – forcing years of turmoil before the country left in January 2020.
Mr Baker told a meeting of the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly (BIPA) on Monday that it should “probably should have been a supermajority” of at least 60 per cent to leave the bloc. The minister said a higher threshold would have removed the difficulty of politicians and the public not accepting the result – admitting it had caused serious political “trouble”.
