It was legally binding. The government saud it would implement the outcome.
What part of that do you not understand ?

There wasn't an option for sitting on the fence.

The fact that the government said it would implement the outcome does not make it legally binding.

You lost.
Get over it.
If a prime minister announces they will implement the result and then they do then that's pretty conclusive.

I don't see legally binding anywhere...
Cameron said the government would act on the outcome so the legal status of if is irrelevant. The outcome would be acted on by the government and that was made clear during the referendum.

Exactly.
Funny how the referendum always reverts to `advisory` because the Remain camp lost the vote. Would they still claim as much if the referendum worked out in their favour? Of course not.

I know ...
What would be beneficial would be for all media like the BBC and sky news and the papers to declare their EU funding they receive in return for positive coverage of EU membership.
We would then see the margin leave won by when the justification for their project fear was out in the open.
