I would respectfully suggest it will. It just will be branded differently. As a point of principle a previous electorate cannot bind a subsequent one, so whatever it says there if the electorate voted to go back in tomorrow that is valid even though it may be less than a ‘generation’.
Interestingly enough, Boris Johnson referred to the 2017 general election as a ‘once in a generation vote’, but no one’s insisted that there shouldn’t be another election until that ‘promise’ is confirmed. Also, the Good Friday Agreement, which is a legal doc, specifies that a generation is 7 years.
