They don't need to - BoJo will win leadership, still have 4(?) years left on their term in office. There won't be an early election, but I bet no one complains about how he's an unelected prime minister like they did with Brown.

What Kos said.

It's a Conservative Party thing, they elect a leader, they're the party in government, therefore the leader becomes PM. Much like Gordon Brown did.

Although saying that, they only have a majority of 17 or somethign so depending on how certain groups in the party behave it could be interesting...

I've not checked mine out, but will do when I get a minute.

Just saw this on the BBC's site:
 
Quote: 
But quitting the EU is not an automatic process - it has to be negotiated with the remaining members. These negotiations are meant to be completed within two years but the European Parliament has a veto over any new agreement formalising the relationship between the UK and the EU.
So, even after this vote, is it the situation that the European Parliament can veto what we've just decided at the polls?

Not everyone, but about 52% of the population. :C

Edit - Actually, that's an egregious slur, inflated by my disappointment in the results.

However, the people I know and have spoken to about it, who voted out are, for the most part, 50yr+ who are racist.

They can veto a proposed new trading (etc) agreement, not the referendum.

The wife actually said she wanted to move to Scotland after hearing the result this morning.

What's your policy on immigration?

I accept the will of the people, doesn't mean I'm happy about it.

I assume you accepted the will of the people electing Tony Blair as Prime Minister 3 times whilst being overjoyed?

Yeah I'm pretty bitter right now. Looks like we're heading for a deep recession, taking down much of Europe with us on that path. My kid's future prospects for just about everything are now adversely affected - education, healthcare, culture, travel. My own immediate prospects also seeing as the company I work for does a lot of work in Europe.

Meanwhile, as I posted on here a day or two ago, I don't believe many of the reasons people voted Leave are at all valid and I don't believe the government we're about to get from it are going to do anything good for those people either. And the main opposition party look like they're about to oust their leader and hop back on the immigration controls bandwagon that already failed them last GE, based on a 4 point gap in this referendum. It's an absolute joke.

I'm not really sure, Jon, what kind of reaction from us you'd be hoping for. Nobody's threatening civil war or to somehow 'undo' it, the vote is done and dusted. At some point in the next few days I wish to progress past grief and bitterness to some kind of hope that somehow we can rescue a good future out of this but right now I am not optimistic so please do share any thoughts you have along those lines, I would truly welcome it.

I genuinely don't understand the whole "grief and bitterness" aspect

I have been hoping for this day for over 20 years and I'm amazed it has finally come

​Do you really think our country is so shit we can't decide things for ourselves any more? are we so dumbed down that we have to be told what to do?

Why will "education, healthcare, culture, travel be  adversely affected" ? we will have more money available for things like that.

​I see a bright new future ahead, we can make our own trade deals deal with the whole world, we can choose our own immigration policy, our fishing, farming, etc will be conducted more fairly. Hopefully our old friends in the Commonwealth won't hold too many grudges for the appalling way we treated them when we joined the EU.

What we had was a shit deal with a shit organisation (even they admit that) - the future may be uncertain but almost anything has to be better.

A few things come to mind about this:

1. Although leave was instigated and led by racist and nationalist scum like Farage and UKIP, I don't believe it is accurate or fair to cast all people with concerns about EU immigration crowding out jobs, housing and benefits, as 'racist'. There's a lot of wealth in Britain, but it was the poorest who bore the brunt of the impact. Due to lack of education, and/or poor information sources, those who are unable to work out who and what is really to blame, but desperate to lash out at anything with a target painted on it for them.

2. There was never a referendum about joining the EU, correct? Nobody got asked.

3. I personally feel, without a shred of evidence, that the result could *also* be interpreted as a referendum on the failed and harmful policies of Cameron and Osborne and predecessor governments (Blair, Brown) and the ruling elites who have benefited handsomely from these same policies. Yeah, the ones who fronted the Remain campaign.  The cycle of general elections has long been a hopeless charade, with lots of people feeling their voices, opinions and votes are considered irrelevant. So this was their one chance to stick it to the man, a populist revolt unfortunately hijacked by sleazy demagogues like Boris.
