I do understand people's reasons for not wanting "vote after vote" (although, I personally don't think one follow up vote on such a huge undertaking as brexit is unwarranted)... HOWEVER... you can't claim that a second vote is undemocratic. If a follow up vote was to suggest that "the will of the people" has dramatically changed, then accepting that would be entirely democratic... arguably, more democratic than dogmatically accepting the outcome of one snapshot vote.

A second vote is simply an attempt to overturn the original vote - just dressed up to sideline the real intent whilst insulting the intelligence of those that voted. Come on TS you know it, I know it, everyone knows it! Why the heck should a second vote be any more valid than the first! It’s all bull**** and everyone knows it. Surprised at you TS.
