We voted to leave, therefore we must leave. If after we have left and there is a movement to rejoin, fine. No problem with it.

But result of the first referendum must be enacted.
In your opinion, yes.

Legally, no.

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.
If it was the clear political will of the people surely the same result would present itself every time?
