The voters were asked three times: one referendum and two general elections, the last of which was won overwhelmingly by the party which had a single message - to 'get brexit done' - and lost by the party which denied the democratic wishes of every single region in England except London.

The general elections aren’t a fair representation of voting in Brexit again. Labour’s policy and leadership was always unclear on their Brexit position, and the party itself and especially its leadership was perceived (or unfairly portrayed, you pick) by many as too extremist left for many centrists to stomach voting for. The only fair vote on Brexit is a referendum, and we botched the parameters of that (52% yes means in a room of people the person opposite you disagreed with your decision, not a great place to start!)
