This is, after all, only a referendum. There's no guarantee the sitting government won't say "noted" and move on. And, presumably, take the consequences, if any, during the next election.
HERE is the BBC's take on the issue for the curious. An Exit vote would be a tremendous public relations problem, but Parliament still has to pass the necessary laws...or not.

That’s FANTASTIC. Thanks for posting it. Five minutes into it, I saw the whole scam and understood why Brexit is a big deal. Not done watching it yet.

"Shocking Poll: 52% of Brits Now Favor Leaving the European Union" The "Shocking" part is that 48% still think the EU is a good thing.

I watched it. Makes me cringe to think of what goes on in Brussels. Reminds me of a situation we have here and what goes on behind closed doors in D.C.

Dear Britain,
If you actually serious about leaving the EU and no longer being ruled by Brussels, you have to start electing people who believe in accountability to the public at large, not just whatever minority group pops up a few signs.
So long as your nation is eager and led by those who would surrender every single rational thought to the whims of tiny minorities, you will continue to be slaves to your government, no matter if it is Brussels or elsewhere.
/s/
Those who rebelled.
PS: If it’s unclear, our president went to your nation and basically threatened you with trade sanctions if you chose to leave the EU. This is what happens when you vote for idiots like him.

I find it hard to believe England will exit the EU if they do it will be because what they saw take place in the London Mayoral race. This will be their last chance to save any English identity.

I always said that Hitler would have accepted the EU as a consolation prize.
To: Michael van der Galien
I’m shocked alright; that it’s not 98% in favor of getting out.

I offer my encouragement to our British brothers.
They will be first in line for a bi-lateral trade agreement under a Trump administration (And Trump should announce this) while the EU is mired in a long, arduous negotiation with that same administration.

If Britain leaves, most economically stable European countries will follow.

Switzerland seems to be doing just fine, and they’ve never been an EU member.

I guess they saw Obama in favor of it so they knew it had to be wrong.

When it comes to a vote, they’ll vote to stay in the EU.

Some dimwit on Maria B’s Fox Biz News show claimed that Brexit was more favored by older voters, claiming it was in contrast to the Scottish exit vote where those favoring a united sovereign UK were older voters. /boing! He also claimed that it would result in 45 percent unemployment and crater property values, thus hurting the very older voters supporting Brexit. Yeah, there really are people that stupid managing investment portfolios.

Watched the whole thing, EU membership kind of matches the OBASTARD administration; unaccountable bureaucrats, unlimited regulations, no voice of the average person on those regulations or the people implementing them, bureaucrat's getting richer, average people getting poorer.
Time well past to kill all the government bureaucrats.
