Just to clarify for those that are confused:

The referendum is not legally binding, it requires a vote in parliament for the UK to trigger article 50. Associated with that vote will be a debate. So, clearly all sides in parliament will have an opportunity to discuss/question what is going to happen, when it is to happen and how it is going to happen.

It is still quite possible for parliament to reject leaving the EU, however, one could expect any MP's that go against their area result not to be in parliament for long if they vote against.

So, for example, the SNP can vote to reject article 50 being triggered decisively as that was the will of the Scottish people. Its by no means yet a certainty that article 50 will get triggered in the time frame being proposed .... it may have many twists and turns yet. We will just need to wait an see.

So .... while some might want to say the vote is over, there is no point in protesting, that would be completely false. The legal vote has yet to take place.
