It would be a disaster for British Democracy. Imagine if the reverse happened.
I would also regard the morning after regrets with a grain of salt. The political establishment (Labour & Tories) were against leaving. The politically influential corporate sectors (especially banking) were against leaving. The media was generally against leaving. The leavers are pretty underrepresented, it would seem. It's not surprising that leave voters seem to have vanished, or changed their minds.
Some may have, but even if there was a massive swing (say from 52% to 45%), the un-regretful leave voters are half the country. They won the vote. How can they trust democracy if they are "robbed" of their democratic right.
Not leaving will create a mockery of democratic process. It would delegitimize the EU, & even the British polity.
