Not the first, and won't be the last. We have to stop this madness.
We can either stop this madness or accept the results of a democratic referendum.
Is the will of the people only applicable when people can’t even know what they’re asked?

Well, the other side is also constantly going: "Imagine how things could be worse. Don't constrain your imagination with realism." Let's check back in 1-2 years if the sky has fallen...
GB existed before the EU and will continue to exist after it.

You can't stop it. Even if Brexit was reversed - which I doubt even possible - Britain has been shown to be a source of political risk. That isn't going away.

I'm going to paraphrase the referendum choices here. 1. The status quo. 2. Imagine how things could be better. Don't constrain your imagination with realism. It's a wonder option 2 only won by 2 percent. The only democratic way forward is to have a referendum on the final "deal".

And the way to rectify this is to have a referendum on the reality of the eventual deal vs. the reality of the status quo.

Of course you can stop it. UK Parliament would just need to annul the Article 50 withdrawal bill. But the question is whether there is the political will to do so. It's very tricky because Brexiteers/Remainers cut across both Labour and the Tories and yet the party members are expected to toe the party line. Which results in an impasse.
The complete agreement of every EU nation is required to un-invoke article 50, because there are no provisions for it. Now, they'd likely do it, but that isn't a certainty, especially as the UK arguably gets a lot more out of the EU than most other member states relative to investment.

the question isn't if the EU still wants the UK (but that it's unlikely that in the current local political internal climate and the opposition it isn't likely. Though certainly legally possible.

If there was another vote to reverse the Brexit-decision and people voted for that in majority, you could stop the madness and accept the results. Things change. Being stubborn is rarely the best option.

A democratic referendum can be rigged by the emotions ruling at the moment of said referendum. You'd think if it would be repeated it would get the same outcome?
New voting requirement-- before entering the booth, must provide proof you are entirely devoid of all emotions whatsoever.

No, this is a nonsense absolutist standpoint. Britain held a referendum - one which probably shouldn’t have been held as it was, but it’s too late to hand-wring about that now. But the way in which the outcome is being executed is absolutey shameful and there are a number of things which could be done: - the referendum outcome could be fulfilled by formally withdrawing from the EU while retaining most of the machiner…
The moment you put into question the foundation of the democratic process, the situation will become completely unmanageable by the establishment.
