I get that, solid point for sure. But letting propaganda campaigns and demagogues prevail so easily isn't a good precedent either.
And circumstances have consierably changed. It wouldn't be the "same" referendum in that sense. I don't now how you feel about the Scottish independence referendum. They had one in 2016, but now facing Brexit and a majority of Scots being against Brexit, there's a push for a new referendum. I think that is justified.
One could also say the Scots could have known in 2016 that Brexit was a possibility to be considered. Which is true.
