Sheer stubbornness? Sticking with a bad decision just because "that's the decision you made" is a really bad idea... On any level, individual or national. It is completely legitimate for the country to have collectively had a rethink. I wouldn't advocate the government going against the result, or "vote after vote until you get your way" as seems to be some people's concern, but having a second referendum to gauge whether the country still feels the same after the dust has settled or if there has been some major shift in opinion is completely legitimate. And sensible.
