There some more facts for you .. enjoy !
Not sure whether you noticed but the referendum was held in June 2016. The decision by the ECJ that article 50 can be unilaterally rescinded was not made till 10th Dec 2018.
Wonder if that's why you didn't see it in the referendum
On 10 December 2018, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) delivered its judgment in the Wightman case on the revocation of a notification of an intention to withdraw from the EU under Article 50 TEU.
At last!! you are correct, the 1975 referendum was indeed only 'advisory', however, the vote was whether or not we CONTINUED as members which was voted for by 67% to 33%.
There some facts for you, enjoy

If we hold one after we leave and the result is pro EU has anyone considered that the result would not be Remain.
We would be a new entrant, so no automatic rebate and having to join the Euro.
How many people would vote for that?

I don't think parliament has enough majority for it.

Still, if you are content to hand over your country to a foreign power, so be it.

That would be interesting,
Firstly we would have to ask the EU and every EU Country would have to agree.
Secondly we would need a new Act of Parliament for us to agree to do so.
We have less than 40 Parliamentary days left.

It may require going back to all EU countries or it might be that Barnier holds their proxy as he does with the negotiation

Same thing, actually it was called the EEC, just another fact for you.
We never voted for a lot of things that have been agreed to by various governments, that's what they are there for.
