The bill clearly states that the outcome of the referendum is binding, although it wouldn't apply to any election held before 2015. But politics is politics, and of course a Yes vote could be ignored if the coalition breaks up before that.
However, I think that if the referendum really does deliver a Yes, no political party would then want to be seen to be so flagrantly disregarding the will of the people as to do anything that would block its implementation. It would make the anger over tuition fees look like chicken feed.
