Actually the uk is one of the only counties in the world that has no protection against retrospective legislation - and has implemented retrospective legislation in recent history.

Having said this ignoring this vote would be very foolish.

If the economy tanks over the coming months people will be demanding another vote.
The economy is already bad enough for the people. The only ones who lost with this vote are the wealthy who rail against it on every news outlet.
I suspect the poor will loose as well, they are the ones who have been beneficiaries of the EU. Not only that but the UK effectively shifted its politics to the right on Thursday, Boris and Gove weren't fighting to leave the EU so they could shower money on the less well off.
