With the way sentiment is currently running, I'd rather they didn't. I don't really want a [adjectives deleted] far right UKIP government thanks.

maybe calling an election would be a good thing!

Mine didn't. Pillocks.Yes our area voted to remain as well.
@tim2000s I don't think the far-right would get voted in, once the 52% realise whats coming they'll vote for who ever will keep them in the EU!
Nicola Sturgeon has now exercised her right for Scotland to call another referendum against remaining in the UK, as they have overwhelmingly voted to remain in the EU. She mantains that the reason many Scots voted to remain in the UK was because they were told that if they left the UK they would no longer be part of the EU, so last night's vote represents a significant change in circumstances. This was the condition Scotland retained as giving them the right to call another referendum. Predictable, I suppose, but it looks like more bad news for the UK this morning.
Well, I agree that the City is in a mess this morning but, to be fair, they have been predicting it for a few weeks and, in my opinion, they have probably caused it with all the flurry of exit trading recently. I see this as just a temporary blip, though, and I'm sure matters will stabilise over the coming weeks. What the final position will be, though, is anybody's guess...I feel sick.
I wasn't joking when I said Prime Minister Johnson. That seems very likely now.
I wasn't joking about economic uncertainty; look at the pound this morning at a 30 year low. Look at a 10% drop in the FTSE. Yesterday London was the financial centre of Europe. In 3 years it will be Frankfurt.
At least I'm not at Glastonbury I suppose, but that is the only upside I can see.

I think very many people voted to leave because they didn't have a clue what they were voting for. They were voting because they didn't like David Cameron, because they didn't like being told what to do, because they thought it would stop people from other countries living and working in the UK, or because they thought they would be better off financially. I don't believe that the majority of British people - myself included - are knowledgeable or educated enough to make a decision of this magnitude with such far-reaching consequences. We elect MPs to govern the country and make these sort of decisions, and in my opinion there should never have been a referendum.That's a very romantic way of looking at things. The reality is it's hard to be content when the country is in a financial mess. People voted leave because they thought they would be better off financially.
To be fair, what other choice did he have?I watched his speech, it seemed to be 'it's your mess, I'm going to leave you to it, while I take my money to an expensive beach in the sun'
The timing was also at the worst stage for the financial market, but at least he had to good grace not to actually walk out this morning, or call an election.
Don't you think that might lead to even further instability? I see Labour have now issued a vote of no confidence in Corbyn. OMG. I detest politics, but there seems to be no way of avoiding it today!maybe calling an election would be a good thing!

... unless there's a vote of no confidence.They're in, as from today.
The next UK election is in 2020, Cameron is leaving as he doesn't support the far right British Nationalist views of last night, and doesn't want to be the one that takes us out.
The government will be electing a PM that will take us out of europe before the next election, we won't be electing a new government.
Spot on. Totally agree with this post. The Scots and N Irish seem to understand well enough though. I was hoping their good common sense would pull the rest of us along with them. Sadly not.I think very many people voted to leave because they didn't have a clue what they were voting for. They were voting because they didn't like David Cameron, because they didn't like being told what to do, because they thought it would stop people from other countries living and working in the UK, or because they thought they would be better off financially.

He'll probably join his father.I watched his speech, it seemed to be 'it's your mess, I'm going to leave you to it, while I take my money to an expensive beach in the sun'

No of course it doesn't make you a hate filled person. But there will be many like you hoping they made the right decision. Why vote on something so important if you're not sure? I knew my decision was the right one.voted out. doesn't make me a nasty hate filled person. I made my mind up before the campaign lies on both sides started, I will not support an unelected body. Do hope it was the right decision.
No confidence in the British government (depending on whoever they elect as PM). Last exercised on the 28 March 1979 when the people voted no confidence in the government under James Callaghan.No confidence in who?
Cameron has already stood down.
