Hold a General Election if the result of the EU Referendum is to LEAVE the EU.
If the British people vote against the Conservative Government's recommendation to stay in the EU, then this should be taken as a vote of no confidence by the British People in the current government.
In this case we call on our elected MPs to pass a resolution to hold an early general election.
Section 2 of the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act 2012 states:
An early general election is held if:
If the House of Commons resolves "That this house has no confidence in Her Majesty's Government"; or
If the House of Commons, with the support of two-thirds of its total membership (including vacant seats), resolves "That there shall be an early general election"
In either of these two cases, the Monarch appoints the date of the new election by proclamation.
