There's a reason why we vote on our political leaders periodically.
Brexit was voted for how many years ago? And what people actually voted for with the information at the time hasn't been remotely delivered. Time for a second opinion.

This. This is actual democracy.
An intelligent government can about face on a choice if new evidence comes to light.
In this case that is absolutely what happened. This whole subject isn't even a YES/NO RIGHT/WRONG GOOD/BAD issue. A fair few people voted leave because they thought immigrants were taking more money out of the economy than they contributed (via benefits)
This was debunked. Yet plenty still believe it.
Changing your mind is totally fine. ESPECIALLY when the "facts" you were given were incorrect or misleading. THATS democracy.
Voting then finding out what you were told and the leader saying "haw haw too late now" is Autocracy. Lucky for us we have judges to keep said leader in check.
