Theoretically, the Government could do nothing and go against the will of the people but this is highly unlikely.
It is impossible for the referendum to be revoked. Otherwise, it'll become "neverendum". Even now when there's a petition to call for a new referendum again, it seems to be of no effect.

However, I am also of the opinion that if Britain will get their acts right, the loser may eventually be the EU instead of the UK. Switzerland need not be in the EU and yet they are still thriving well and good.

.. but this time is different. EU is disintegrating, China is slowing, japan is stagnant and USA is talking thru their arse. remember history is no vital statistics for future.
these are the same challenges faced by all exporting economies. The problem was that if UK had stayed with EU, she would be bounded by EU protectionist rules to deal with a more difficult global economic condition. It's much better for them to take charge of their own destiny. If it were the Greeks, Italians, Spanish or Frenchies who opted to exit the EU, they would have been a straight basket case. But the Brits are no pushovers - half the world use their language, many countries use commonwealth contractual law as basis .. The pommies spearheaded the industrial revolution and are excellent deal makers. They will do well post EU.

Yah this Cameron is a big bastard. he will go down in history as the worst PM in UK history
He is indeed a bapok. Didn't he said before the referendum that even if it's a "leave" vote, he will still stay on? And even Boris Johnson had asked him to stay on after the referendum.

He miscalculated. During his 1st term, Nigel Farage's UKIP party was clamouring for exit from EU. Lots of Tory voters were drawn to UKIP and Tory had 3 MPs defecting to UKIP. To stem the tide he offered the referendum if he was reelected. It worked. The Tory supporters abandoned UKIP. Cameron won by an unexpected landslide which destroyed Labour. He never expected them to vote Brexit when it came to the referendum.



he created ze big mess n now run road leaving others 2 clear his sh*t ...

The UK,,,is one of the worlds top 10 economies, the problem with the UK is that if Scotland split,,,than the UK is truly in trouble,,but if the other European countries vote to leave,,than the EU would have split from within,,,than join EU for what? Looking at the European reaction...they never ask why the leave vote won,,,,even within Europe the native Europeans, like the French, Germans etc,,,are also pissed off the with EU bureaucracy,,,and Europe is in a mess,,,with the rich getting richer,,,,if the EU don't reform,,,its fucked either way.

The Scots have been hating English rule for centuries so it's no surprise. That said, it is the best time to get rid of those skirt-wearing idiots.... Besides single malt whiskey and Sean Connery, what other useful stuff has Scotland contributed to the world?

why would scotland split?geographically and topographically and populace wise they are the same as singapore.scotland is like singapore assuming malaysia is a extremely rich and powerful country with gdp of 1.2 trillion.if malaysia was the number one colonial superpower back then and tunku kicked singapore out,lee kuan yew will be on his knees wailing and crying genuine tears and kowtowing ah gong instead of fake crocodile tears.if singapore was scotland we would be fucking going over to malaysia to be construction workers and factory workers.

Britain's decision to leave the EU will have as much impact on the EU as it does on Britain itself.
Before anyone does anything, Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty needs to be invoked. David Cameron (quite rightly) has said that he will not be the person responsible for 'pulling the trigger'. It will take a brave successor to initiate the start of divorce proceedings and this probably won't happen until the Party conferences in Sept/Oct.

Theoretically, the Government could do nothing and go against the will of the people but this is highly unlikely.

Expect a lot of uncertainty (market volatility) in the forthcoming weeks and months.

FYI, London FX currency market is the world's largest, bigger than the New York and Tokyo markets combined.

What can UK do if the EU decides to kick it out? Nothing. The EU has had it with the Brits.

Last time I checked, the EU wanted Britain to remain.:confused:
The EU cannot kick out the UK from the European Union. Only the UK can decide to invoke Article 50 and this is unlikely to happen before they elect a new PM.
From then, UK has 2 years to negotiate on existing ties such as trade deals, immigration, freedom of movement and EU Single Market access etc.

There are consequences and ramifications for both sides.

the EU should sieze all brits assets and start dumping trainloads of polish and syrian into UK if that is the case.
