However, since we're now speculating wildly, rather that than the civil war how about the one that occurs when the economy crashes, house prices crash, food shortage, thousands/hundreds of thousands/millions lose their jobs.
The whole Brexit conundrum is due to the closeness of the vote. And realistically now we know the options that are available to us surely another vote is whats required. Democracy does not usurp democracy.

And if the closeness of the result of another referendum occurs again - do we keep going, having referendum after referendum until the people vote the right way ?
Sorry, but that is not a true democracy to me that people fought hard and died for.
It is irrelevant that the referendum in 2016 was not binding, however it was one of the largest democratic processes this country has ever undertaken, and over a million more people voted to leave than Remain.
All the claptrap about job losses, people losing their houses is just fear mongering rubbish, 90% of the growth in world trade will be OUTSIDE of the EU. We do not need to be in a corrupted EU to do trade deals with less than 10% of the Worlds trade.
Democracy decided that we leave, so leave we must.
