It certainly doesn't look good at the moment.
But suppose "Leave" wins. What then?
I understand that 2 years of negotiations are needed to make it official.
I also understand that PM Cameron will likely resign or be forced out. Would it also mean early elections? Could a new government come in and ask for a do-over once the pound falls 20% tomorrow?
It seems like if a government is really determined, they can keep calling referendums until they get the result they want (look at Erdogan in Turkey).
Lots and lots of questions...
Here's hoping the "Stay" side rallies.
Cheers,
Scott.

Shows you what the 28+% of non-voters allowed to happen.
The Leave voters were more fired up and did not let the heavy rains keep them home. Alex

This isn't Rubio declaring he's done with the Senate.
Politics is a serious thing.
Cameron will resign.
Economic recession will come.
Scotland overwhelmingly in the Remain block, will revisit independence.
Northern Ireland, also the Remain block, will look at re-unification with Ireland.
But, there's always Wales.
And Peter will be able to say "I told you so!" Alex
