That's the way democracy should work, if you lose the vote you don't get what you voted for. In 2016 16.1 million people didn't get what they wanted, because 17.4 million people voted for something else.

Not true, democracy can be about compromise, not just binary rule by majority*
Both NI and England getting 'what they want' seems more democratic than England deciding what NI gets (which in itself is a longstanding tradition).
*technically democracy can be rule by minority as minority parties get to be the kingmaker of hung results.
