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.

And I get your point. But I think that people won't learn without living with the consequences of listening to those demagogues. If someone just comes in after the fact and says "do over!", then they have no real skin in the game. People should know that when they vote it is playing with live ammunition.

As for the Scottish independence referendum, I absolutely believe they should get another one. Brexit occurring after their referendum is a change in circumstances that would justify a new vote in my book.
