Win The Referendum - Lose The Brexit?

Well, how much do you trust our pusillanimous politicians? They are europhiles to the core and will not give in that easily.
Let me paint a picture for you. The 'out' campaign wins a narrow victory. The PM then agrees an 'associate membership deal' with Brussels but not one that is like those with nations such as Norway and Switzerland. Hidden in small print on enough paper to fill a large room, there are all the 'surrender clauses' which can allow Brussels to keep on making our lives a total misery - but, it is not over yet.
The EU does an unprecedented climbdown and gives us complete control of our borders as they really cannot afford to lose us.

Trumpeted as a triumph for Dave and the UK - a second referendum will be held 'now that we are in control of our own destiny' again. Those who voted anti-EU because of uncontrolled migration are pacified and the EU wins the second referendum. After a Brexit - this scenario is most probable - I personally feel that it is a stone cold certainty!
The problem will then be that all the myriads of problems we have with the EU from democracy to agriculture, from fishing to horrific expenditure, from imperialism to corruption, from lost sovereignty to control by unelected bureaucrats - and hosts more issues will all be forgotten and promptly brushed under the carpet. Cynical - moi?

Sorry Folks.
