I did wonder if that "Do not prorogue Parliament" petition could have got a lot more signatures if it wasn't bundled with "unless extend A50 or revoke". Made it harder for both Brexiters and Remainers to unite in their disapproval.
I feel like there must be some way of using the awfulness of BJ as PM to bring people together...

There are also a lot of people (in London and elsewhere) who, despite being opposed to Brexit, wouldn't vote for a party that has no concern/policy for the 50ish% of the population who who support it.
As andyp says, a second referendum may be problematic in a representative democracy, but at least it can be pitched as a followup referendum with actual informed options being proposed. Just ignoring the referendum (even if legally legitimate) seems imprudent to me.
