How come a second vote is acceptable for the MPs, but another vote for the people is considered (by some) to be undemocratic?
"2. Second vote on the deal
It's been suggested that the government could try to bring back the deal for another attempt to get it through.
That's not completely straightforward because there's a principle that MPs shouldn't be asked to vote twice on the same issue during a single session of Parliament.
The Clerk of the House of Commons has also said the normal rule could be ignored if it "plainly was the will of the house" to overturn its previous vote." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46393399
