EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

That article makes some good points but misses on 2 key ones:

First, he talks about how an electorate cannot bind a subsequent electorate and how democratic decisions cannot be irreversible, but then dithers on the question of which mandate would have priority, the original referendum or the subsequent one. Obviously the answer is the later one, since more recentd democratic decisions overturn earlier ones.

Secondly, he says that the last GE was an endorsement of Brexit since the majority of the electorate voted for parties who endorsed it. This is nonsense, the GE was a vote on many issues and to expect a sudden swing away from the two major parties is unrealistic. The fact that the Tory majority was eliminated shows that there was no majority support for their vision of Brexit, but many voters would have seen that as an exercise is damage limitation (a Labour Brexit being the lesser of two evils, in the absence of an anti-Brexit party that could feasibly get into government), not a demonstration of their support for Brexit qua Brexit.
