Something that will have such massive impact on the country should have at least 2 seperate national votes at least 6 months (preferably a year) apart.
There was so much mis-information spread by people with major agendas such as UKIP which they had to own up to days after the vote. Those lies alone would have been enough to give us the result we ended up with. Many, many normal, average British Citizens who voted 'leave' have , since clearer and more honest information has become available, have said that they are terrified of the impact that Brexit will have upon their lives and/or business in the UK and have also said that they would have never voted to leave had the full rammifications been made clear in advance of the vote.
This isn't (or at least shouldn't have been) about winning or losing or beating someone of the opposite opinion, it should have been about what is best for the country and those who live in it. If people are honestly supporters of true democracy then they should have nothing to fear from a second referendum now that people have had time to become better informed on the pros and cons. How can anyone not see that ?

How convenient you wanting another vote, it won't happen. If people voted without knowing what they were voting for that is their stupidity. There was quite a lot of information sent out to everyone, which I guess many didn't bother to read. More fool them.
I notice when you talk of agendas you target UKIP alone when there was misinformation all-round. That is an agenda in itself.
As for the number of leavers changing their minds - where is the evidence. A small number may have just as some remainers would now vote leave. There is no evidence of significant numbers changing their minds. Just agenda-driven speculation and semantics with some wishful thinking sprinkled on top.
True supporters of democracy support a public vote - they do not try to interfere with the outcome because they didn't like it and because they didn't take it seriously enough to bother voting, read up about it or assumed they already knew the outcome. A painful lesson learned by some.
