Actually until last nights result,.
I wasn't sure remain would win a 2nd referendum or even wanted one myself.

However I agree with you, on all you've said above.
This less than 40% turnout still failed to give the pro brexit parties, one under the louder mouth of Farage, over 50% of the votes cast.

The splintered remain supporting votes matter since those votes will never go to pro brexit parties.
I think you are right a new referendum would likely result in a remain vote.
Certainly however a solid vote against any no deal Brexit.

It would be a massive slap in the face to the bulk of the UK, those who vote and can't yet vote, if that is now ignored by any new leader of the Conservatives.

For my current party, Labour, they must now come out for a new referendum.
If it doesn't, I will need to think where I am as to politics now.
