It's an interesting idea I've not seen before and one worth repeating:

But here’s a contrarian thought: perhaps a future Tory PM could make the bold, generous offer of a referendum on Brexit to win grudging Lib Dem support for their government. That could now be the only way, looking at the parliamentary maths, that the Tories could stay in office. And paradoxically, a Tory leader might find it easier to promise a referendum than Jeremy Corbyn.
