    There should be a Brexit app. All eligible voters have a Remain / Leave status which they update whenever they change their mind. Newly eligible voters record their status for the first time, and voters who lose eligibility have their status discounted.

    Any time the balance changes, Article 50 is invoked or withdrawn accordingly.

      You could make the same argument about general elections. Very few are well informed about every issue when deciding which party to vote for and there are so many unknowns that even the wisest & most knowledgeable are taking a gamble.

      Most vote with their instincts and in their own interests and that is probably the wisest thing they can do. Societies are more likely to work if we go with the realities of human nature rather than pursue impractical ideals that ignore them.
      Very true, and there have been many decisions made after an election that were not part of a mandate (e.g. Iraq war).

      However, we do get to exercise our vote every 5 years to let them know we're not happy.

        How about remaining for 48% of the time and leaving for 52% of the time? Shall we say 6pm until 5:31am for remain?

          On this basis, should not the referendum be re-run every few years?

            It was just as democratic as a gradual slide into a federal super state with no democratic votes for 40 years.

              Indeed. I mean if this "Club" is so wonderful, why does it feel so strongly that anyone that wishes to Leave it needs to be punished?

              Surely leaving would, in itself, be punishment enough?

                  At least when the NHS is getting its extra £350million a week, there will be enough meds for the nurse to administer.
