Only if all the other EU countries also vote on whether to stay in the EU.

Absolutely not. The British people voted to leave the EU. Sorry cosmopolitans, you lost and you don't get to have the nation vote on the same issue over and over again until they finally give you the answer you want.

They voted to leave the EU with a wonderful deal in place that would give the UK everything it could ever want in a trade deal and more, as that's what the Leave campaign promised.  That's not what's gonna happen.  At this point, it looks like the only two options are a hard no-deal Brexit or staying in the EU.

Odd reply.

They can pursue whichever trade deals with the US and other countries they want under WTO rules, and they won't have to deal with the cancer of open borders or exploitation RE:fisheries.

It would be shocking if the UK were able to get better deals with any non-Anglophone countries than the EU can. In some cases, they won't even get as good as they currently have as a member of the EU. Plus under a no-deal Brexit, the UK will see half its trade be subject to higher tariffs and additional delays and paperwork.

The idea that voters learn from past mistakes in other countries is ludicrous. There won't even be many British voters who will learn from this mistake.

Easy. The choice isn't the rosy optimistic one that the Leave campaign promised at the time. At minimum, there should be a referendum on whether to accept May's deal or leave without a deal.

Which seems to have been the objective of the EU negotiating with Britain over Brexit -to deter anyone else from going through the same process. 

Perhaps, but they've also made it damn certain that no further countries will want to join the EU without a prenup specifying what happens if there is a divorce.
