Even if the UK says no, will the EU order the UK to keep voting untill the "correct" result is achieved?

He better not - otherwise we'll be having Robert Kilroy-Silk as Prime Minister in short order...

Oh wait, go right ahead, Tony, do that... ;)

Don't think so. Much more likely that UK will have to leave the EU - what a pity for the Brits! /sarcasm

The EU leaders are playing with high stakes indeed.
Several other countries have already decided to hold referenda, and in other countries like Sweden, it is still probable that the politicians eventually will cave in.

In none of the countries is a YES a foregone conclusion. In some countries (most notably the UK) a NO is almost inevitable.

What happens then? Can the EU elites still go through with the project? Will the euro crash?

A probable result is that a core EU consisting of Germany, France, Belgium and Luxembourg would be formed. If that happens it is also likely that the Flemish will break away from the Walloons - finis Belgium.

EU promoting peace - my foot!

With one of the smaller countries they probably would, they did so with Denmark over the Maastricht Treaty. With Britain it is a different matter, first we are too large to be pushed around; secondly, a no vote could well result in Blair resigning as P.M., his heir-presumptive is Gordon Brown who is a moderate Euro-sceptic; thirdly, the European hate us, and the fact that we do not really want to join them in their ludicrous federalist project, they may just take the opportunity to get us out of the E.U. (hurrah).
