We should leave the EU because it was voted for by the majority
- Do you want to have a border in Ireland?
- Do you want a border between Ireland and the rest of the UK?
- Do you want to lose money for the NHS even though we had a bus saying the opposite?
- Are you just going to say "no" to everything, but not have an idea what to do instead?
Then maybe, just maybe it would a good idea to ask voters to choose again between leave this way, that way, another way or "who knew this could be so complicated, let's not do that".
Having another vote just because politicians didn't like the way the first one went is not democratic. We can have another vote, but lets leave first.

Sure, which is why nobody is proposing that.
The regular definition of two parties that have agreed something

Apart from the Labour party and the so called Peoples Vote campaign. But apart from them nobody is I suppose
Parliament passed the second reading of the new agreement allowing it to move to the committee stage for further scrutiny, but they rejected plans to pass it into law before the 31 October deadline, and forced the government (through the 'Benn Act') to ask for a third Brexit delay. This was followed, on the last day of October, by an act providing for an early general election on 12 December.
"Have", kinda but not quite.
They are also not proposing that. If you have to misrepresent other groups instead of arguing against what they are actually saying then you are not discussing but just talking to yourself.
Sometimes democracy doesn't work you know, so we have to try harder.
Some will argue that the coming general election is an up-down vote on Johnson's deal. However, it isn't in that it is a first-past-the-post contest between different parties in each constituency – a majority of the vote might be received by parties opposed to Johnson's deal, yet the Tory candidate might still be returned due to the majority against them being split. A referendum on the deal itself wouldn't be faced with that issue.
Since the referendum we have had a GE a EuroMP election and now...another GE. With only the referendum and the EuroMP being done on the proportional representation system.
Sad thing is, had David Cameron got the EU to agree to reform, things would of been much different. Which is ironic as Mr Macron is keen to see reform, with even Donald Tusk not long after the referendum saying that the EU needed reform. Ironic as that reform is on hold, until the UK leaves. That's sad as in all this time, the EU could of outlined some reforms and the whole reason to have a revote upon the leave/stay would of been more palatable as things had/was changing. Bit like saying your going to quit a game due to some imbalance that has gone on for ages that you don't like, and before you quit, they say they are going to address the issue. So you may well change your mind.
However you look at it though - a lot of people got way more politically educated over the past two years. Be interesting how that pans out over time.
(FWIW I don't think a referendum should have been held in the first place, and an un-referended decision either way would have been better.)
