Unnecessarily and what's worse is there was no appetite amongst the public for it until Dave called the referendum, the EU was waaaaayyyyy down the public's list of priorities until then, who knows if he'd stuck to the big society instead of letting Gideon derail it with austerity he might have got away with it to

A large proportion wanted leave for a long time before any referendum. They just never had a genuine opportunity to vote on that. Plus nobody was really allowed to complain about it, and still aren't.

There clearly is none hence no link.
The Express, Sun, Telegraph, Mail and others made a business from complaining about the EU.

Perhaps, with new information available, and/or seeing how they behaved, he decided to change his mind - it happens...

Re: Brexit
Well Corbyn (in theory) now has the scope to back a second referendum saying options have been exhausted and May isn’t interested in meaningful negotiations with the opposition. Whether the second part of that sentence is true or not is irrelevant- the judgement will fall down on party lines.

He did until quite recently, ie about 10 UKIP leaders ago.

Re: Brexit
As Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU by a margin of 56% to 44% why can they not have a referendum on the hard border issue. Stuff the DUP.

Well, as David Davis said "“ If a democracy cannot change its mind, it ceases to be a democracy.”

There is no evidence people have changed their minds, piffling little polls with minute sample sizes compared to the actual result are totally irrelevant.
Polls that keep happening are very similar to what they were before the referendum and leave still won.
We simply do not keep having the same vote over and over, until the result goes the way of the democracy abusers.

It was also merely an observation on Corbyn’s next steps. I’ve always said MPs want to remain but not get the blame for it.
