If you both get to the rotary at the same time, the person or persons with no one to yield to go first. If the rotary is empty, you both just sail on into the rotary without slowing at all. One will always be ahead of the other in this situation so you can't possibly occupy the same space at the same time. This is what makes rotaries superior to 4 way stop signs.
Europeans in general, especially British, really "get" how to drive in rotaries. They are really fun over there because most people understand that the goal is to not slow down (which means you don't have to waste gas to speed up again) so people tend to rip through them at high speeds and high lateral acceleration loads. Most people here don't seem to understand that simple concept, sad to say.
