I'm generally not in favour of mandatory voting either but I do think one way of moving forward with Brexit would be to demand a vote from those who didn't turn out for the referendum. When the direction of a nation has been decided by less than a majority (in this case, by 34% of the electorate?) I think special measures can be justified.
It shouldn't be hard to identify those voters; I always have to hand my voting card to someone when I go to a polling station so I imagine there are lots of lists somewhere of people who were registered but didn't turn up.
