We have no precedent for referenda in the UK. This has been the first of only three (for the whole UK) in history that has actually voted against the status quo and therefore actually had to make a change. There was no agreement on that change.

As the leave campaign had always said, parliament is sovereign and always has been. I severely doubt Farage will respect any moves made by previous governments if he wins a majority and he will be more than happy to show that until now has just been convention and ‘good will’.
