Liberals are pro-EU and will continue to be so. In the same way
UKIP wouldn't have packed up and gone home had they lost the referendum. The people who vote for them know this, for many this will be the reason they vote for them.
Democracy is always on-going. The Liberal Democrats have been decimated in Parliament and their side lost the referendum but they'll continue to campaign for what they believe in. In this case another referendum.

In fact, if the vote had gone the other way and Farage had employed the same tactics Farron would have accused him of being a right wing extremist trying to undermine democracy...

But that's exactly what Farage would have done. And I do not believe for a moment that the advocates for Brexit would have stopped all criticism of the EU and declared no desire for a future referendum had they lost.
