I don't think the leave vote represented a desire to stay in the EU but reform it though. If remain had won 52:48 but politicians had decided that it was best for us to leave as we couldn't get the deal we wanted I doubt people would have been of the view that that was reasonable.
If you look at the post brexit vote opinion polls there doesn't seem to be a great element of buyers' remorse, people still want to leave the EU even though it's evident that no-one has a clue what the plan is.
I think a better analogy would be remain winning 52/48 and politicians taking that as a green light to join the Euro. Given that a narrow win for leave means that we're heading for the hardest version of the headbangers brexit.
