But result of the first referendum must be enacted.
And even if there was a 2nd referendum, with a remain option - why should this referendum take precedence over the first?

Leave campaign will just insist on a 3rd and so on, to what end do we stand up and say one referendum is enough because this is democracy.

Keep having referendums until one side gets the result it wants, is not a true democracy.
