In my view it gets us over the undemocratic way of changing a vote that has been delivered by a lot of people .
Democracy is all well and good but very few people who voted for Brexit knew what they were actually voting for and the ramifications thereof. There are very good arguments for leaving the EU (a concept that has enormous flaws and which will probably end in tears) but the vast majority of Brexit voters I come across or see interviewed in vox-pops on the TV are incredibly ignorant of the economic and other consequences but our fate was put in their hands.

I don't pretend that I knew all of the ramifications myself and I can't say I know anyone on the Remain side that did. All I know is that I wouldn't put my trust and future in the average voter on the street.
