Indeed. However, they could invade the jungle and overrun it. How would the Authorities cope with 5 million Turks. No one could stop them if they are allowed free movement in the Schengen area.

If not and it's a very close vote to leave the EU he may say that it was so close that it's better to stay in and ask for more concessions now that the people have spoken. Maybe this would lead to a second vote afterwards??

The same argument that he needs more concessions could be made in the event of a close vote to stay in ie the electorate voted to stay in, but only just, so he has to appease them.

Either way I think that it will be a close vote
Technically no but can you imagine he backlash from the people if he went against the referendum? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refere...United_Kingdom

Yes. First the BoE Governor tells us there would be a technical recession where growth would be negative for 2 quarters if we leave the EU. Today on BBC News Cameron is saying we will be in a proper recession for at least a year. Which of them is right? If they can't agree on that then where does the truth actually lie?

TBH the forecasts coming from the Treasure since 2010 have not been exactly right. Remember they also predicted doom and gloom if we didn't join the Euro - Hell they got that wrong didn't they?
