At the current rate, it wouldn't be too implausible to see leave win by more votes in the case of a second referendum.
Still, it also provides an interesting opportunity for political parties if they have the guts to follow through, do something pro consumer/voter and stick to their guns. Think about it. A pro Brexit party who said outright that they were not going to be for internet censorship or privacy violations and pushed their views as a counter to the likes of Article 13 could win a lot of support in the tech industry/with younger demographics, and they'd probably reap a fair few financial benefits for themselves and the country too.
And given its the US that's raking in the money with the likes of Google/Facebook/Amazon/whatever rather than the EU, it could make economic sense to work more closely with them than Europe too.
