I'm fascinated by the insistence in some quarters on the line of argument that: there was a referendum, it voted for Brexit, end of discussion, no do-overs.

I'd like to point out that the referendum was a do-over. There was one in 1975. It voted against Brexit. If that wasn't the final word, this doesn't have to be either.
