In a general election the Government is elected with a manifesto. In a referendum the Leave campaign won with a mandate to leave the European Union. Anything after that is a matter in which the whole country has a say.

Brexit and the subsequent deal will be one of the biggest events in our modern history and it's consequences, good and/or bad, will be be felt across the country and maybe even for generations to come. It's sheer lunacy to demand that only the 52% that voted for it have input into that. It's also pretty stupid tactically to intentionally attempt to provoke 48% of people who voted Remain.
