"In May 2016, Nigel Farage said that he would fight for a second referendum on Britain in Europe if the remain campaign won by a narrow margin" - yes but he was the leader of UKIP, he is duty bound to get us out of the EU and would have Kept on trying even if it was a much bigger win for remain, that's his raison d'etre. That's not the same as remain wanting the status quo.
In fairness, Farage has mooted a second referendum, albeit in the guise of giving a message to the Remainers, but if he were really honest, he would say:
"I know how they feel. I also said that a 52/48 split would not be the end of it. They're just campaigning in the same way I would've campaigned had it gone the other way, with the same percentages."

It's no good. What Farage was talking about (and I agree with him - always have) is that 52/48 is too slim. He said that a two thirds / one third split would have been decisive. His issue at the time was the projected 'almost half and half' vote.
I have always said on AB that it would've been so much better if one side had one outright...really clearly.
But as Farage correct predicted 48/52 will prompt the losing side to fight on.
He would've, and now Remainers, or whatever political persuasion (both Conservative and Labour) are banding together in the same way that UKIP would've fought on.
