Yes your definition of democracy is correct. 61% voted no.

If UK votes in favor of Brexit, it's another fun way to look how the EU and the UK prime minister is going to try to ignore it. https://ig.ft.com/sites/brexit-polling/

Did you know not that long ago we had our own border policy and currency? And we were doing great as one of the richest countries in Europe. We were a sovereign country, where laws only had to pass our government.
Now EU makes the laws and our government has no say in it. We have no say in it.

We went from a democracy to a dictatorship. The evolution of a country used to be the other way around.
