What would your position be?

Would you accept that public opinion had shifted significantly and say we should just stay?

Would you think that we need a second vote?

... Or would you still want the government to forge ahead with Brexit based on Thursday's result?

Which best represents a true and fair democracy?
No I wouldn't accept we should just stay. If remain had won the vote and the same went the other way, would you? Sure you would. You have to accept that we voted this way. Democracy isn't having another vote every other week until it goes the way you want it to.
