Sure we do, but we're talking a referendum, not a politician.

Absolutely not. The vote was on a yes/no topic. Whatever your opinions on this issue a clear decision was made. The losing side requesting another vote is absolutely not democracy as it ignores the democratic vote that was already held. Do we keep voting until the "right people" declare that the last vote was actually the democratic one? How about we redo every vote that we don't like the outcome of? You see this exact type of sentiment in the US with the kvetching about the Electoral college and the popular vote. Brexit passed in a fair and free election. Ignoring that vote would make a compete sham of the democratic process.
