It’s not a legally binding vote but Cameron has both resigned (as of October) and said he will honor the vote.

What I don't quite understand is, if referenda are "consultative" and non-binding, why all the hoopla?  Why can't they simply factor the results into a more rational process?  This is especially curious if Cameron plans to/will resign anyway.  And also curious given the Bregret.  Did the pre-referendum legislation dictate that the government must robotically obey the results?  We have all sorts of ways our US government can bypass, ignore, or delay the unencumbered "will of the people."
