I don't think you understand how good it is to be in an economic union and how bad it is to be isolated from one in terms of trade.
Imagine you're a company who wants to build widgets. Caveat emptor, would you rather put your factory in a market with 1x labor and 1x consumers, or 5x labor and 5x consumers? It's not hard to see why companies are already pulling out of the UK pre-Brexit.

Results of first referendum were within margin of error. Polls don't tell you who is going to 'win', like there's a magical line at 50%. They give you an estimate +/- a few %.
Latest polls have it about 60/40 Remain. That's not even close.

It's up to them; they can have as many referenda as they want. Times change and so do opinions.

It seems better than the idea that the populace only ever gets one point in time to make a monumental decision at, and if they get more information and change their minds, tough shit.
