Explained: How The UK Could Be Forced To Remain In The EU After A Brexit Win

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Breitbart:

LONDON (AP) — If Britain votes to leave the EU on Thursday, it’ll be final. Irreversible. Irrevocable. No appeals. No second chances.

 

“Out is out,” European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker told reporters Wednesday.

 

“You can’t jump out of the airplane and then clamber back into the cockpit,” is how British Prime Minister David Cameron put it in a radio interview a few hours earlier.

 

But what if a vote to leave weren’t really that final or dramatic? Some experts are wondering whether Britain can ever really free itself from the European Union — even if voters strongly endorse hitting the eject button. Others say it’s not out of the question that Brits could find themselves going back to the ballot box in a few years’ time if buyer’s remorse sets in.

 

“The EU is a bit like the Hotel California in the Eagles song,” said Tim Oliver, a fellow at the London School of Economics’ IDEAS foreign policy think tank. “You can check out anytime but you never really leave.”

Somewhere I was reading this was non-binding. Not sure if it is just political suicide to override the voters will, but all monetary indications are the vote does matter.

Nuneaton and Bedworth, in central England, was a bellwether in the last general election. It has just voted to leave the EU by 66%.

 

Obviously it’s hard to make direct comparison with the current referendum but could be a source of hope for the anti-EU camp.
