>> If the leave side comes into power, they are expected to implement this
We can only implement what we can get agreed with the EU. If we don't like what's on offer then our parliament won't agree it. and the majority of MPs wanted to stay in the UK. And we elected those MPs to represent our views - so actually we should have a general election ASAP because the referendum and parliament don't actually agree any of this.
If we have a new leader for both main parties I really do think the country deserves an election. Things in both parties have changed so much. And this election should be before we trigger clause 50 and then any new government could ignore the referendum... it was this government that called it ;-)
But if I was the EU I'd not accept what the UK wants for 23 months and 2 weeks after clause 50 is triggered. I'd offer them things they cannot accept. At 2 years minus 2 weeks I'd offer them something even worse. Now if they do not accept that and get it through the UK parliament you will now leave the EU without any agreement. You will now trade with the EU under WTO terms. After you've left the EU you will now probably agree to anything!
This is similar to what they did to Greece when they called a referendum. What Greece accepted in the end was worse than was on offer before the referendum was called.
