Governments have ignored referendums about the EU before

2015: Citizens of Greece reject austerity measures laid on them by the EU for a bail out (caused by another EU fail, its Euro "one size fits none" currency) - IGNORED

2008: Citizens of Ireland rejected the Lisbon Treaty. Instead of ignoring them completely, their government campaigned for it and held another referendum. They don't like the outcome, so they do it again. If it would have been rejected again, they would ignore it or do it again, until they can do what they want. So - IGNORED

2005: Citizens of France rejected the EU constitution, later disguised and shoved down their throats as the Lisbon Treaty. - IGNORED

2005: We the Dutch as well. - IGNORED
