The vote is that the UK will leave the EU.
The vote is a referendum. It's not legally binding on Parliament. (But they'd be stupid to ignore it.)
I wish many Freepers would stop writing in absolutes until they check the facts.

I know exactly how the system works - if you check posts I've made in the last few days, you'll find me explaining the constitutional issues involved in this for the UK in general - including why, while it is technically true that the referendum isn't binding (because of the principle of Parliamentary sovereignty) in reality this vote can be expected to lead to the intended result.
Just one example from yesterday.
I'm not the right person to be accusing of not understanding this situation. I've been correcting misapprehensions about it over and over again.

They have to leave, it would be political suicide for the Tories to ignore the vote.
