then the result was a valid democratic outcome.
London voted to stay by a large majority, so a million people march in London is understandable.

51.9% voted to leave = 17,410,742 VOTES
48.1% voted to remain.
but we now know Russia interfered in that vote as well.
And polls show the majority now want to stay.
They were sold a set of lies and have come to realize that.

I am sure there are some rules and regulations on holding referendums in Briton.
Elections should NOT be repeated simply because people changed their minds.
That would make a mockery of democratic elections.
