Are we a representative democracy or a direct one? Because if you want to continue to be the former, and you should, then making a referendum binding makes no sense.
Personally I’d prefer we made our way out of this mess through parliamentary means, but that will outrage a large section of society, probably with justification. If we have a second referendum, the divisions will continue and, if remain won, the leave vote will be calling to make it best of three.
