I’ve repeated many times I’d have no issues if leave won another referendum. All of the alleged weaknesses of the 2016 one are gone with another.

The straightforward answer to bitter remainers after a further referendum would be “tough shit”. You lost a clear leave/remain question, twice. In full awareness of facts. It also gives MPs the way to avoid blame with the electorate if it does go badly - they are carrying out a clearly mandated instruction in full knowledge that “no deal” is a likely outcome.

The 2016 referendum will never legitimately achieve the above.
