So really what happens now.

nothing immediately, since it was an advisory referendum. parliament will have to draft some legislation and go through the procedures to leave the EU. it'll take a fair amount of time

Can Parliament just choose to ignore the vote since the result is too tight, on the grounds that proceeding with the results could destroy the UK? Is that a thing?

they absolutely can


they won't, though

Are there any limits in place or can you have another referendum on the same topic within months of the other? Based on that map of votes distribution I would not be surprised if this time Scotland did leave and tried to join the EU. Is that even possible. How would that even work?

you can have referendums whenever the hell you want since they don't legally mean anything

Can someone explain to me how Cameron ties into the Brexit referendum? Did he campaign on it, thought he was being clever, and then realized he had to keep his word?

Yes. It was supposed to cater to crazy nationalists (and did, since they won the election) but apparently he didn't realize that the crazy nationalists were more than half the country and they'd actually end up winning this vote too

I'm just honestly curious because I feel like people who are just peachy saying how lovely and backwards certain white cultures are get really into cultural relativity the second darker skins get involved. On the scales of what's worse I feel like people wanting to stick to their own is a lesser evil than not letting women drive but it seems like the modern progressive movement doesn't really share my order of priorities.

people cant do as much about things not happening in their own country
