Ok, but if Remain had won, would there be a referendum every few years every time the EU changes?
I'm fine with regular re-votes as more information comes in, but not a system where a pro-EU vote has validity for 47 years (including retrospectively, from 1972-2019), whereas an anti-EU vote has no validity unless re-confirmed, and even then is going to be challenged in another few years.
IMHO let each in/out vote be valid for 10-15 years. Have another referendum in 2030 on rejoining. That's when it will actually be clear whether we are better off out and it seems that a later referendum like that is the one the remain hardliners are most afraid of winning without project fear on their side.

I recommend checking out some of the threads on poker psychology books written by PhD holders.
