Re: David Cameron announces resignation
#2I just watched his talk. He lost. He fought that he can avoid crack in his party and anti-eu members will be pleased if he make this move - referendum. Then he thought he will get what he wants from EU and then all citizens will vote remain. He was wrong on all this points. He is the biggest looser in this situation and he really knows it.

And he agreed to this to get UKIP votes in last year's election.
Admittedly the pressure was building from UKIP (and eurosceptic tories), but this is very unlikely to be in Britain's interests IMO.

#4Wow. A new Prime Minister and a new President within about a month of each other. At this point though, it doesn't seem like the former will matter much anymore.
I hope this shit hole of a year turns around for the second half.

Labour voters voted predominantly to to leave in this referendum more so than the conservatives.

> He is the biggest looser in this situation
Except he isn't, really -- he loses his political position, but he and his family won't be existentially affected by what's going to happen, as opposed to probably tens of millions of people all around Europe.

#8As if the pound needed more beating today. Oh well he was not at the level of Disraeli, Churchill or Thatcher. He made that mess and didn't even had the balls to pull the trigger of brexit himself.
All hail Boris Johnson. Crazy hairdos on top of influential Anglo Saxon countries is bull market it seems.
We will live in interesting times.

That explains the result of the referendum, not the agreeing to it in the first place.
