I didn't joke, I'm simply naive about these things. The general public learned a thing or two about referendums, maybe they would now recast their vote? If so, then wouldn't that help? I understand the downvotes as this idea seems silly, I did not mean to propose a silly idea or an idea for fun. I simply don't know the fundamental reasons as to why this idea is silly. It might come as a shock: but I really am this naive. Let that sink in, an HN member, not interested that much in politics, who does not understand why this would not be a remotely feasible way out other than heuristically knowing it's not a good idea. I daresay I'm not the only one. If I'd have a vote in GB, then I'd have voted to stay. I am pro Europe and as a European, I was actually showing people this Kurzgesagt video [1] about why voting for or against the EU is important (apparently I have friends and family, some of them highly educated, who are even less interested in politics than I am). --- I'll read the comments now, I'm sure I'll be better informed after this reading session.
