Brexit: theory vs practice, charted

Clean lines, right angles, easy-to-follow sequence — theory can be ever so aesthetically pleasing:

Would a small margin of victory for Leave really generate the kind of chaos that leads to a second referendum and ultimately swing the public back to Remain? Hell if we know.
