A second referendum would only perpetuate the Brexit merry go round.
Even if "remain" won the second referendum, the result is likely to remain extremely close and then what ? Best of 3, best of 5.
Unfortunately we still have to rely on the elected members to carry out the will of the people, something that so far, they have failed at rather miserably
The problem is, it is the wills of the people, and whatever they do, those that agree with them will take it for granted and those that don’t will be furious with them. And whatever they do most people will disagree.
I accept that you don’t want to tie negotiators hands, but ‘leave’ was a ridiculously open option. It had to be leave and go somewhere somewhat specific. By leaving it so open, people could project their own preferences onto it, which in some cases were/are mutually exclusive.
So a general election made sense from that perspective... but led to a hung parliament. There’s no settled public consensus still, more than two years on, on what Brexit should look like.
