I don't know how it is now but there was electoral reform legislation passed or passing due to the holes in the system. AFAIK the Electoral roll (register of electors) administered by local councils is fairly easy to abuse.

They've already done everything but cancel the vote. The whole Cox fiasco is nothing but the left turning someone's death into political capital -- which they do relentlessly.
But I also saw an interview with an MP that said outright it didn't matter how the people voted. Only Parliament could actually withdraw and if Brexit got 100% of the vote he'd NEVER vote for an exit no matter what.
Yeah, they kept repeating a phrase to the effect of "we must fight the hate that took her life". Um..... a lunatic took her life. He had a history of mental health issues. They are desperately trying to link him to the Brexit camp.
All the questions surrounding her death, but within 6 hours they had "found" a receipt from 20 years ago that he bought a gun plan and survivalist literature.
Absolutely. If this was a Muslim who killed a pro-Brexit MP, we'd be having a field day with it, regardless if the guy had a history of mental problems or not.

Will it matter even if it goes through? The politicians might just temporize, hem and haw, say they'll discuss it, then two years later there will be another referendum.

Exactly, they will keep dragging it, having new referendums every couple of years ("the situation has changed, we need a new referendum!") until they have the desired "correct result". At this point, the situation will never be new again and the result will be final.

120% of registered voters think so too.

Yup just like they urged Crima to redue the referendum and lost their shit when they noped out.
