I don't know anyone who thought the last referendum was "a giggle". Most people I know thought long and hard about their vote.

If people vote leave a second time, fine, but if there is more options the government will have more of an idea of what kinda of Brexit the population wants, rather than guessing, and then they can work towards implementing that kind of Brexit. The kind of stuff that should have been done the first time around.

Also, there is the fact that Vote Leave subverted democracy by breaking electoral law. I don't see why the democracy arguement is brought up about the People's Vote, what is more democratic than asking the people to vote? Are people just afraid the result wont be to their liking?

It's pretty clear that the government and parliament as a whole is not getting anywhere, they've spent the last two years in stalemate, nothing real has been achieved. When parliament cannot come to a conclusion on an issue such as this putting a vote to the people is the only option.

Maybe if David Cameron hadn't done the vote on the basis of party politics and had actually thought through the consequences of his actions we wouldnt have been in this mess. If he'd have taken the time to outline what happens if the Leave won, instead of presuming Remain would win, we'd be in a much better place. Maybe if he hadn't quit when things didn't go his way, we'd have had a functioning government and a united Conservative Party, but we don't.
