This is just another way of trying to claim that the remainers are so much more intelligent than the majority that they should get their way - they should effectively get two votes each according to your suggestion.

Shall we do that then ? Have a second referrendum but require a two thirds majority to reverse the first one ?
Don't project your own fears of inferiority onto other peoples arguments.

Anybody who claims to understand enough about the EU to make a competent fully evidence-based decision is almost certainly lying. The only thing we all understand now is that the process of disentanglement isn't as simple as we were told (although I think that was pretty obvious from the start).

A simple argument for a threshold (maybe not as extreme as 66%) is that it's a decision that incurs years (possibly decades) of work and an immense cost attached.

You don't move house because you saw a picture and you think you might like the new one.
