UK Brexit, questions from an American

[emjay]

Hey can anyone answer this:

Say the leavers win the vote. Does that mean we will leave, for definite? Or is the decision still in the hands of the government ultimately?

Well I heard somewhere... but take it with a pinch of salt just like everything else about all of this... that there was too much opposition in parliament that even if leave won it still might not happen. But if it was blocked somehow then they'd have to answer to the people. So I hope that's not going to be the case, either way, otherwise this whole referendum would seem like no more than a charade.
