So, the answer to a vote going the way you don't like is to ensure the will of the voters isn't carried out long enough for you to say the original result is no longer valid? That seems like the antithesis of democracy to me. It also smacks of the "leave voters will be dead soon and their vote shouldn't count" argument.
It wasn't "pretty much evenly split". Leave got well over a million more votes than remain. Brexit was also advanced as a final word on the subject prior to the vote occurring. Not getting the result you want is not sufficient grounds for calling for a new vote. It's the same thing with the EC, we've had it for centuries, but now lets get rid of it because we don't like the result it gave. If the rules don't favor you then change the rules. If Brexit doesn't happen it will be a massive betrayal of the democratic system and yet more proof of Europe sliding away from the principles of western democracy.
ooohhhh...Hyperbole!
Could it also not be a sign that an idea became impossible to follow through on? So there has to be a change?

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
