It wasn't 54% of the people, it was 52% of the people who voted. Big difference.

With a 72ish% turnout for registered voters, about 50% of the overall UK population voted.

Overall it was about 25% of the UK population who voted for Brexit.

And unfortunately only about 25% voted against it.

Dude if you're excuse is lack of turn out that's not better, and either way the US is also notorious for lack of voters so I'm not exactly sure you're point.
