If it is a vote to leave, Cameron will certainly be gone and near quite quickly, so they will get their wish on that but they will get no general election.

It doesn't work like this does it? I don't really klnow too much about politics and stuff tbh but won't someone just take over and the tories remain in power?

From what I know, Brown was just thrust upon us and not actually elected?

No, David Cameron did say in opposition if a PM changed while in office he'd like to see a new general election held within 6 months.

However when the coalition put in place the 5 year fixed term parliaments act,they omitted to make that a condition, so you are correct, no election will be forthcoming.
Also two thirds majority is needed from MPs to call an election which means 434 MPs have to vote for an election outside of the fixed term parliament act.

Not a chance on that happening at all.
