Had Remain won by a small margin then Cameron would have stayed on as PM I assume and I am sure he would have used that time to rid the Tories of the likes of Boris. Of course it would also have seen a rise in the UKIP support probably but then maybe that would have split the Tory vote in the GE to see Labour actually get into power!! The possibilities are endless, Labour might have had to form a coalition government including the SNP who would have made it a condition that during this parliament they would get another referendum and Corbyn would have to have gone along with it or see a minority right wing Government in place instead. Of course the scary part of this would be Corbyn as PM, different sort of bad to what we see today!!! Another question would be did the Brexit vote have any impact at all on Trump winning in 2016?? Did a right wing surge in the UK give hope to the RW over here, that election was close so could it have made a difference?? If so we would have President Hillary working with Corbyn!!!
