Will the losers accept the result and move on

I am a British Citizen living outside the UK in another EU Country, Luxembourg.
I will be sad if the vote is Brexit but also recognise this as Democracy at work.
I will then watch with interest and hopefully not much horror the negotiations to leave.
The U.K. Will be living in interesting times as the Chinese say. That is not a good thing.There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.0 -
As a Remainian, I will be sad if we decide to leave the EU. But I will suck it and see - it could be the dreamland that BoJo promised.
At least if it !!!!s up I will know who to blame.0 -
I'm expecting Remain to claim vote rigging and various random conspiracies if they don't win.
Given that Leave have been claiming vote rigging and random conspiracies already (all this nonsense about using a pen instead of a pencil - I mean really, does anyone with half a brain take this seriously?) I think Leave is rather more likely to engage in this sort of behaviour if they lose.Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon
And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning0 -

Disgusted in you

Didn't answer this question before the result was known, because the answer depended on the result.
If we had remained, I am absolutely certain that every leave leader would have accepted the result as being final, with good grace, and allowed the UK to get on with day-to-day life for at least the next couple of decades.
Now that leave is all-but-certain:
Westminster will accept the result and do its best to make the best of it. How good a thing that is depends on how competent you believe Westminster to be. Indeed, this was the main reason a lot of people on the fence were ultimately leaning towards Remain - a belief that even if leaving was in theory the better option, the politicians would most likely screw the process up.
Scotland will leave UK before 2020.
Our relationship with independent Scotland and the Republic of Ireland becomes extremely interesting (to put it mildly) unless freedom of movement is retained.
Huge surge in immigration whilst we are still full members of EU, as those considering the move realise it's their last chance.
Significant spike in applications for dual-citizenship from British-born people who actively make use of the EU's free-movement rules and qualify for the passport of another country (Ireland in particular).
EDIT: By no means an exhaustive list, but with the exception of Indyref2 the ones that strike me as the least controversial.
I will add, more controversially, but consistently with what I said a month or two ago, that there is definitely going to be a recession within the next 18 months. Whether it is a short-term bump which no-one really notices, or a deep one which has long-lasting effects, is harder to say.0 -

No Clapton, I think you raising jo cox when her murder had no relevance to the bit of banter in these last few posts is disgusting.
What relevance does it have. Can you explain yourself?Left is never right but I always am.0 -
If it's close that means that almost 50% are unhappyNothing has been fixed since 2008, it was just pushed into the future0

The answer to the OP's question is clearly 'no', at least in the case of Scotland and Northern Ireland.0

This is the boomers. The fault of it boomers. The UKIP voting pension hogging boomers. :mad::mad:0
