I doubt people who voted Leave were uniformly in favour of a no-deal or shitty-deal Brexit over Remain, or for that matter had a solid understanding of what the consequences of these kinds of Brexit would be.
Shitty deal, sure, but I think the vast majority of leave voters would agree that "no deal" is the default. I'm not afraid of a no deal.
Whether the electorate had a "solid understanding" as you put it is irrelevant. Most remain voters don't think the EU is moving towards being a federal superstate, so that lack of understanding exists on both sides. What is relevant is we had the vote, and made a decision. That has to be upheld.
The election was called almost entirely due to Brexit. So whether or not it 'should' be another referendum, it effectively is.
I think you're forgetting that we currently have an unelected PM. This election would have needed to happen anyway, even if Brexit was done.
