I don't think this is a remotely likely scenario, but we can disagree on that.

At least you'll have 350 mil pounds a week to spend on the NHS right.
Vote on what? Do you even know how the EU is structured? Do you really?
The idiots in charge of the UK from John Major through Tony Blair to David Cameron and their lackies never had any intention of upsetting the apple-cart : they never wanted to vote anything down in the first place - do you understand this??? It was a dog and pony show for the electorate back home. Even Thatcher pulled her punches.
This is a populist uprising - the entire referendum was engineered by 1 man , Nigel Farage , who for years and years and years railed against the unelected tyranny of the EU. Cameron never wanted this vote. He had to promise it so as to win UKIP voters over to the mainstream Conservative party otherwise we were heading for a hung parliament and probably a Labour-Lib coaltion which would have seen this country circle the pan faster than a blink of an eye.

The UK electorate had diddly squat influence in EU and dont care if that influence remains at less than diddly squat. Hello? Earth to derp. Come in please.
