There doesn’t need to be a compelling reason. Just a belief by political parties that’s what people want more than what people don’t want (weighed by how strongly they feel against any other issue that might come up in a general election). Ideally it’d be demonstrated in one, but that’s not always possible.
If, for example, the Tories feel that the consequences of Brexit would cause a 1997 style wipeout, it’d be remiss of any Conservative leader to not consider acting in a way to avert that. Remember to reverse requires remain to actually win the referendum and if it does it legitimately becomes the
will of the people.
