Oh come on now, this is such a trivialisation of the CoC that I cannot believe 
that it is a good-faith bug report and not a troll. I'm surprised you didn't 
toss in the words "triggered" and "micro-aggression" while you're at it.

The example has nothing to do with the UK Referendum (or for that matter, the 
2016 referendums in Zambia, Columbia, Bolivia, or Italy): the numbers are 
completely different, the results and percentages are different, and there is 
no non-arbitrary way to map Yes/No of a made up example to either Leave/Remain 
or any other actual results. If you want to read the example as a better world 
where the majority of peole voted "No" to leaving the EU, then go ahead.

Why should you privilege the Brexit referendum over (let's say) the Irish 
referendum which voted in favour of allowing same-sex marriages? Or are you 
annoyed by that too?

Any year is going to "annoy" some fraction of the readers:

2019 is the year that the Liberal Party (don't be fooled by the name: they're 
the authoritarian-right, climate-change-denying reactionary-right party) won 
the Australian Federal election on a campaign of Facebook fake news, "annoying" 
almost half the country. It is also the year that President Trump was 
impeached, annoying half of the USA. 2018 was the year Vladimir Putin was 
re-elected president of Russia, annoying and *terrifying* some percentage of 
Russians. 2017 was the year that Trump was sworn in as US President. Shall we 
go on?

2016 was also the year that Taiwan saw the first ever majority by a non-KMT 
party, and the first female prime minister, when the Democratic Progressive 
Party won their elections.

By the way, the fact that I've just spent easily half an hour getting annoyed 
at this bug report and writing this response disproves your claim about 
avoiding making others upset.
