It's not over yet. Parliament still need to vote on it. Only requires about 30 tories to vote against recognising the result of the referendum
The government will ignore the result. The people will moan. Business as usual. You don't really think the powers will let the peasants make this sort of decision.
Depends how close the vote is. The closer the result the more likely parliament is to reject it. Politicians primarily want to secure their jobs and a clear majority voting for leave means they will go with the crowd for the sake of popularity.
52% vs 48% to Brexit. Have postal votes been counted yet? If not we could get another 1,000,000 postal votes to get remain over the line
After some scaremongering during the week about a possibility of a Brexit, the Libs are now hosing down any suggestions of turmoil: http://www.news.com.au/national/bre...t/news-story/dd3073b22c4e639ccfc6fa580b251b13
Given that this was about re-establishing UK democracy over the EU oligarchy, it would be high ironic if the UK parliament ignored the referendum result. However, I would suggest that would be practically impossible to do, given how empowered all the high profile supporters for Leave will be.
http://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/eureferendum?mod=e2tw I would say the Brexit train has now definitely left the station. Brussels is in trouble and a broader breakdown of the EU is raising its head. Edit to add: It is really encouraging that the UK is leading the world in freedom again. They have been responsible for so much liberty and progress across the world its great to see them boldly stepping forward in this vein again. In saying that I also recognise the unequaled devastation they have wrought on native peoples around the world, but that was in the negative aspect of their past imperialist phase.
