Disingenuous rubbish, and you know it. Leaving then reapplying then rejoining would be an impossibly uphill struggle ending up with far worse terms than we have now and we wouldn't get there in my or your lifetime. A vote to remain is, on other hand, totally reversible. A remain vote in a second referendum would be easy to reverse in bureaucratic terms, no harder than what's happening now and on the same timescale. And you can bet your life that you super-democrats (who can't bear the idea of another vote) would be angling for a rerun straight away. In fact, your hero Nigel said as much just before the last one when he thought he was going to lose.
