UK to leave EU

[Fidel_Castronaut]

No Government would survive reneging on the result.

Unless they ran an election campaign with ditching the referendum as a primary issue.

Possible, but if we've started the process using article 50 by then, we would be entirely at the mercy of the EU as to whether we'd both even get a shot at rejoining and get the same (fairly favorable) deal we currently have/had now.

I just don't get it. I don't get see what we gain aside some notion of spending a tiny pittance of our overall GDP we handed to Europe on 'something that's not the EU' and a vague and frankly un-realisable promise of 'no/less immigration' (if we want to stay in the EEC).

Blurgh. Whatever, I'm drinking and watching Adele at Glasto. All good.
