Re: TL;DR
And if the result changed to remain. a lot of people would demand a best of three - demanding more votes until the "correct" result is returned is unreasonable.
I am trying to understand why having a vote on something of enduring public interest every few years is a bad thing. Why shouldn't people be able vote periodically on, I don't know, what sort of Government should be in power?
But this misses the point about the "Peoples Vote", which is not a simple rerun of the referendum, but is about voting on the terms actually negotiated by the Government versus sticking with the status quo.
The first vote was about a lump of vague and contradictory options - was become like Norway, or was it Canada, or was it a free trade agreement - the easiest in Human history - or was it “no-one is talking about threatening our place in the single market”. In a few weeks we will know which particular one of those it was, or maybe - almost certainly - none of the above.
