The problem with another referendum or people's vote is the first referendum was so divisive that another referendum could be worse.
The demographics will keep changing as well. You could ask the question in 5 years time and it could be remain and you could ask the question in 10 years time and it could be leave. Young people are very left wing but when they mature and grow up they move towards centre and then to the right.
Everyone voted Remain and Leave for different reasons. Some voted Remain to carry on with the status quo, some voted Remain because they would like to see a Federal Europe and some voted Remain because they are Eurosceptic but believe we could try and reform it from the inside. Some voted Leave because they want to come out of the EU altogether, some voted Leave because of immigration, some voted Leave because they don't want to be part of a Federal Europe.
If the ardent Remainers want to win a 2nd referendum or a "people's vote" instead of looking down on people who voted Leave calling them "racists", "bigots", "didn't know what they were voting for" etc they need to debate them and get them to come round to there way of thinking. This is why Leave and Trump won because instead of debating one another like grown ups they call each other names and abuse each other and this happens on the left and the right.
