If we vote for Brexit what happens

And there was me thinking staying in the E.U. was a common sense decision backed up by countless experts and professionals who predicted exactly what is now happening in reality.

"To me court system overruling democracy is dangerous – I cannot believe it can even happen, remainers should be worried about this too."

Unfortunately the government that was chosen screwed the referendum terms up by not legislating in advance to ensure the ref was not merely advisory. This is a parliamentary democracy and thus it will be parliament who needs to vote on when A50 is going to be triggered and possibly the terms in the future. Brexit is complete insanity but at least this process will hopefully be performed with due diligence as opposed to being for purely political motives by the cons instead of what is actually in the best interests of everyone.

It's a bit like saying shall we carry 10KG weights when we free fall to the ground with no parachute or 15 KG ?

What is happening?

I would be more concerned with what might happen in the future.

I have a theory that most Remainer posts are full of negative emotional terms while Leaver posts have more upbeat and optimistic terms.

Actually I would say the predictions have been pretty much way out. Apart from the £, but that was obvious given how it was trading in the run up to the referendum.

See below from The Guardian:-
Meanwhile, the legal and political complications facing May intensified on Friday after the Welsh government’s law officer, its counsel general Mick Antoniw, said it would formally join the complainants’ side in the supreme court case next month.

Scottish government sources said Antoniw’s intervention increased the chances that Nicola Sturgeon would also join the action, because both devolved governments worry that their legal and parliamentary interests are being overlooked in May’s rush to push through article 50 without a vote.

That would force the UK government to explain why it believed leaving the EU was only a matter for Westminster, even though leaving the UK would have a direct effect on the powers of all three devolved parliaments in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. Scottish government lawyers have already been sitting in on the case as observers.

In his statement on Friday, Antoniw said: “Having considered the judgments in both matters, I consider that they raise issues of profound importance not only in relation to the concept of parliamentary sovereignty but also in relation to the wider constitutional arrangements of the United Kingdom and the legal framework for devolution.”

Um, don't Scottish, Welsh and NI MPs have a vote in Westminster anyway? These devolved parliaments doth complain too much methinks.
