It will be interesting to see how long Cameron lasts, whether he falls on his sword or is forced to go, and if it's an abrupt or managed transition. I see a whole bunch of pro-Brexit Tories are publicly stating support for him, which to me suggests he's actually a dead man walking. "We support him until we don't." Hell, it's even possible there might be an early election - there are provisions for that under their fixed term legislation.

From what little I know, I'm inclined to agree.

I was surprised to see how strongly Wales voted to leave, but I suppose large parts of it share in the post-industrial, post-Thatcher malaise that affects pro-leave regions of northern England.

Brexit

I fear this is far larger than David Cameron. Sort of like blaming Obama were the United States to elect Trump. Gotta blame the people. Note I'm not comparing the two politicians.

This has been an educational couple of hours. I look forward to learning a lot more in the coming days.
Finally turning everything off now. Stay gold, UK posters.

From what I've read, the interesting decisions now really go to Merkel and Hollande, in figuring out what access to European markets the UK gets. Give them Norway-style access and things won't change much, sparing a lot of potential economic pain. But that could inspire other similar exits.

But there are two years to negotiate that, and of course the German leadership had to sound as tough as possible. Two years for Germany to contemplate losing free exports to the huge market of the EU. We'll see whether they'll be willing to make their point. Sent from my iPhone using U2 Interference

Trump is going to be in the UK today. Golf course in Scotland. Labour had a 33-40% crossover to Leave in Industrial blue collar areas. Think Pennsylvania - Ohio come fall. Parallel populist uprisings.

All the British people that voted for remain should migrate to Scotland while it is still possible.

Plaid Cymru also supported Leave, in the hope it would lead to Welsh independence.
