As for a second vote, one argument for it would be that people couldn't know what kind of Brexit deal would be reached. Also, European countries do this quite a bit. Repeating referendums that is.
The EU is a failed experiment, better to get out now. When the whole house of cards collapses dealing with the EU won't be a thing. Italy, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, etc. are all actively hostile to the EU as it exists. France has shown they have a breaking point as well. You certainly know better than I, but I believe there is considerable anti-EU sentiment in Austria as well. As a free trade zone, it was a good idea. As a United States of Europe it's simply Germany running the show and intimidating the smaller nations.
As for Brexit, it was promised that the results of the referendum would be honored, therefore they need to be. It's interesting that some of the loudest voices for "democracy" are the same people asking for a second vote. How is that democracy? My understanding of the concept is not that you hold a vote as many times as it takes to get the results you want. Quite honestly, a no deal Brexit is the way to go. The United Stats can ease a lot of the economic pressure. The only real sticking point would be the ease of travel, which would be petty as hell for the EU to make difficult on the UK.
