And if the second one doesn't work out the way politicians want, third time is the charm!
Looking at the state of Brexit, it's due time to think it over, give people a chance a to remedy a grave mistake. Or go all the way, at any cost? With a 52%/48% vote? Really?
Nothing of intelligence can be said on this subject on Hacker News.
In Politics higher intelligence is a handicap, not an advantage.
And if this next time it is 51%/49%, we can try yet another time!
That's exactly what I am suggesting: iterating until the desired results are obtained.
