Simon Jenkins, a columnist at theguardian wrote an article about the possibility of a second referendum. Jenkins shares an interesting point of view over how a second referendum should be regarded.

A full version of Jenkins’ article can be accessed in this link. I leave here some quotes:

The fury in some quarters that greeted the UK vote on Brexit last June swiftly morphed into
a demand that voters be immediately re-polled, as if they would then repent the error of
their ways.

(...)

The divorce would proceed without hope of reconciliation.
But divorce is a clumsy metaphor. Neighbouring countries do not marry and divorce. They
become more or less separate, hence the shorthand of “soft” and “hard” Brexit.

(...)

Ideally, when tempers have cooled, a deal will be reached that removes the UK from the
institutions of the EU but reformalises trade and population movement.

(...)

This would not be an attempt to reverse the first referendum, merely to validate its outcome.
It would be a “good” second referendum.
