Leave might win by a bigger majority and it would finally put this bed if they won by a decent percentage.

It's not being afraid of another vote it's that the idea of keeping voting until you get the answer the losing side want is democratically abhorrant. It's wrong and had remain won the original vote I would still think it would be wrong to run the referendum again. When we have a general election we don't keep going and going, we accept the outcome, even when it isn't what we voted for and a new government is formed.

If you did that in sports no team or individual would ever win. England would play eternally for a cup they can never win. Oh yeah they do that anyway..
