1.26 million is a lot closer than a great many elections which the losers abided by the result of and which were equally important for the countries involved.
I expect that once it is done and dusted many future generations will look back on the moaning and whining, wonder what the fuss was about and thank their lucky stars that the vote went they way it did.
In election you get to change your mind and vote another way in 3-4 years time.
Brexit is a major decision that can not be change so easily

You could also argue that the young in 1972 had no say in the failed experiment that was foisted on them - so your argument about the disenfranchised young holds no water. You are either old enough and entitled to vote or your not - simple as that. Your attitude to the 17 million voters who voted no is exactly the attitude the Brits are sick of.
Do you know if all 17 million that voted for Brexit are still keen? or the 16 million that wanted to stay, have they changed there mind.
Seems people like you are afraid of a second vote in case it goes the other way, not me. But I would like to see a bigger majority, one way or the other
