Although a Remainer, I do think we have to be careful here. The Quitters won a majority, and May followed their wishes by signing Article 50. Democracy was served. She then has consistently tried to get the best for Britain, and has worked hard at it in spite of all the back-stabbing from some of her self-seeking MPs.
So what question does a second referendum ask - the two obvious options are Quit on May's terms, or Remain.
Presumably most Remainers would continue to vote Remain (although I suspect some would change, given May's terms).
But what about the Quitters, a hard core of whom strongly disagree with May's terms. So how should they vote - presumably grit their teeth and vote Quit again. But in view of how much of the so-called "Project Fear" has already manifested itself as actuality, would some of the more moderate Quitters change their vote to Remain.
The outcome could be chaotic.
Whatever, this second attempt would rather make a mockery of Democracy. So I am strongly against a second referendum.

We'll have another referendum when another important subject, that the people's opinion is needed on, comes to light. At present there is nothing that we've not already voted on. And we aren't daft enough to allow flip flopping on important issues just because a few remainers might now realise we should leave, or vice versa. Being indecisive is not democracy, considering the issue and voting in accordance with the right path that one is taking and sticking to, is.
Correction. The Quitters who wanted to quit their nation's state, throw away sovereignty and continue the journey to be an insignificant small area in a continent sized country, ruled by unelected foreigners, did not win any majority. Those who wanted to continue to support their nation's sovereign state and correct the mistakes of the past, won.
Actually according to polls more remainers have changed their mind to leave than leave voters changing to remain so I think leave would win by a bigger majority.
As a leave voter I am not particularly worried about another vote. Just on what we were voting for.
The in/out vote has been done so should not be revisited for a couple of decades at least. Anyone wishing for another in/out vote should hang their head in shame at being such a petulant, childish loser.
Therefore I would welcome a truely democratic vote. Leave under the terms as agreed by May and the EU or leave under WTO terms.

I voted to leave in 2016 and am still happy with my decision.However I don't think that many of the millions who voted to leave that day envisaged so many problems in securing our release from this undemocratic organisation.I hope the final deal that is secured is the best we can get and can win approval in Parliament.Another referendum would be devisive and there is no provision for best of three.
