With something of equal validity.

The 2016 referendum overuled the democratic vote of 1975.WE CAN'T ALLOW TRUMP-LIKE BEHAVIOUR TO OVERRULE OUR DEMOCRACY.
Do you mean in political instances like the recent US election events?
Belton.No, of course not. Because "Remain" was a defined thing."Leave" was an amorphous, undefined concept which covered everything from No Deal Brexit to a soft Norway-style deal.That was the reason why the whole concept of a binary choice was flawed.

It's the making of the decision that is superseded, not its effects. Otherwise there'd be no Court Of Appeal. Especially in the days of capital punishment!

As usual, your deflection question is so vague as to be totally unanswerable. What instances?

A discussion about democratic votes being deflected into courts of appeal on capital punishment and I'VE deflected! Oh dear!
As a general point, now that Brexit has happened would a new referendum held tomorrow be deemed to be undemocratic?

Hopefully, there won't be any success in overturning that result either.
