re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU

I still want to know:

1) Will we in fact get a referendum? Supposedly there was one in 1973 re the Common Market. My Mum always said no-one ever asked her, or anyone she knew. If they had, she'd have told 'em to get stuffed.

2) Will the Government abide by the result, even if - as is highly likely - it isn't the one they want? Will they, in other words, remember that the UK is - allegedly - a DEMOCRACY?

I have in fact asked this question of Cameron in a letter enclosed with that stupid propaganda booklet I received today. I've used the opportunity to rant a bit and point out one or two home truths, such as the fact that the so-called voter 'apathy' is nothing of the kind - it's not that we don't care, it's that we don't really believe voting makes any real difference anymore.
I did not post it stampless, however; since government's paid for by the electorate anyway, such a gesture would have little effect on Cameron directly, so I don't really see the point.
Nor did I identify myself. I'm not stupid.
