I think if they now included
16-17 year olds (as per Scottish indie ref)
- EU Citizens living in the UK
- UK citizens living in the EU
.....Remain would win so there's not a chance these "democracy loving" Brexiters will agree to any of them.

Just shows, they're interested in winning, not defending democracy. And, truth to tell, so am I on this occasion. I don't mind being out voted for the rest of my life and still supporting democracy if we can just have this one.

I don't think the wish for another vote makes you undemocratic. To be a true democracy there has to be the right/ability to change your mind on reflection, greater knowledge of the consequences, or the emergence of new facts. Otherwise it's a dictatorship and we'll never need another election.
