Or it's quite simply that neither remain or leave leaning politicians are any good at conducting complex negotiations. So it's bumbling towards a mythical cliff edge that's happening rather than some clever plot to make brexit impossible.
It's how most other countries conduct these kinds of votes to prevent bickering.
Though I guess if things are too close to call ? Trial by Combat to decide the winner. Weapons of choice ? Blue Passports with razor sharp paper and an EU Flag made out of Uranium.

I don't misunderstand at all.
So many people want to stay in the EU, as per the vote just as many want to leave.
If there is another vote and its remain - then what? its 1-1, so do we stay or leave ? do we have a tie breaker ?
What about at the next GE if many people want the losing party in power, should we have another GE ?
In both cases, do we just keep having elections until we get the "right" answer ?
Ultimately there was a democratic vote - we have the result and we're going to have to live with that. To ignore the vote and just "try again" would be a constitutional crisis.
As I said, things can not go "back to how they were", even if we stayed we'd be made to pay for flirting with leaving.
Personally, purely from a trade point of view I don't think trying to leave is a particularly smart thing to do when both sides are so unprepared (and yes, quite possibly some of that is deliberate).
The whole social engineering thing and all the daftness/bureaucracy of the EU I have absolutely no time for.
Many people wanted to stay in Europe and thought they wouldn't be able to go to Club Med any more so voted remain data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I wonder.
What I like though was the turnout of people who showed an interest and voted at the Brexit referendum: 72.2%.
Very nearly broke the record of the highest turnout which stands at 72.3%.
They all had their various reasons for voting as they did, but they voted. Shows how important people thought to leave or to stay is.
...Well, most people anyway data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
And that is a very important point indeed, the turn out was good for UK referenda/elections. Everybody had an opportunity, as long as they are a British Citizen. They didn't even have to be a resident. It was good democracy in action.
If you'd prefer no deal.
