Hardly.

There are plenty of remainers (i.e. people who voted remain and still wish we had remained) who nevertheless do not think we should now rejoin. I’m not going to start calling everyone who voted remain in 2016 a rejoiner because they are by no means the same set of people, though doubtless some of them are.
