It would likely make no difference. what ever the result, parliament could do the same thing again when it comes to the crunch, e.g vote no to the deal, and vote no to no deal.
The only reason some mps want a second referendum, is that they 'hope' it will give them support for the course of action they personally want to take, (doesn't mean it will), and if it doesn't they can just ignore it and push for what they want anyway (yet again).
Only way you'd get me to vote in a second referendum is if parliament, voted and agreed on how to act on its outcome first and it was legally binding.
Failing that it would be a fairly pointless excersize.
And its not just up to us how long we can take to decide what we are doing, its also up to the EU. They are fed up with us and I don't blame them - but its still unlikely they will be in hurry to trigger Article 50 and kick us to the curb, despite the fact it would make them look strong and us weak if they actually did it.
but they get money from us while we are still a member. (almost a quarter of there budget even) And the bloc hasn't been doing so well for money over the past decade as I'm sure you have noticed.
