Lets say the UK did go back to the polls under whatever deal the Tories come up with, what do you put it up against? If it fails does the country still leave with no deal at all and fall onto WTO rules? Do we go back to the EU to try and negotiate? Do we remain under the same rules that apply now? Can we bring back David Cameron's deal if we Remain?
I don't know under what guise you'd run a second referendum. Loads of money again, and I think you'd end up with the exact same outcome but in reverse (Remain would win by a small margin) therefore creating some sort of farcical 1 all draw.
We know the EU would rip up Article 50, but whether they'd be open to putting Cameron's deal back on the table is another matter. I think there is now room to get more out of the EU than Cameron got if we were to Remain, but I don't know how you work your way back to that point.
But then you can't properly negotiate with the EU if they believed the UK was going to run another referendum because then you would obviously give the UK a bad deal or top load Remain.

People have become so entrenched on either side that I don't see much movement at all. All of the people I know who voted Remain are still passionately Remain and all of the people I know that voted Leave are still passionately Leavers.
A lot of people that didn't vote last time probably now would, but I don't know where they'd go.
If the pollsters are to be believed, the country is now united on Brexit (in the sense they want the government to get on with it) but are massively divided on what type of Brexit.
