That referendum was 7 years ago and it passed with a 2% majority, under conditions where the Leave campaign was caught lying out of their teeth.

A lot of people who voted on it have died since then and a whole cohort of people aged 18-25 didn't get a chance to vote.

Democracy required them to go through with it, but democracy also means they are allowed to change their mind and apply for EU, EER or EFTA membership.

I, for one, will welcome them back at the soonest opportunity.

More referendums is the way to go.
