In the words of the Chancellor the talk is of a “confirmatory referendum”, that necessitates endorsing the decision to leave.

A confirmatory referendum could equally be used to endorse the manner in which we leave, while respecting the 2016 result by not opening an avenue to overturn it.
That aside, I note you sidestepped my question with an oblique swipe at Margaret Thatcher, which really is a tired old cliche even on Clydeside these days.
Why should a remain victory in a 2019 referendum settle the issue when a leave victory in 2016 did not - especially as the result of that referendum was never implemented?
