Quote from Cameron
I was absolutely clear [in the referendum] about my belief that Britain is stronger, safer and better off inside the European Union. And I made clear the referendum was about this and this alone, not the future of any single politician, including myself.
But the British people have made a very clear decision to take a different path and as such I think the country requires fresh leadership to take it in this direction.
I will do everthing I can as prime minister to steady the ship over the coming weeks and months. But I do not think it would be right for me to try to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination.
This is not a decision I have taken lightly. But I do believe it’s in the national interest to have a period of stability and then the new leadership required.
There is no need for a precise timetable today. But in my view we should aim to have a new prime minister in place by the start of the Conservative party conference in October.

That is nonsensical. He is campaigning and wrapping the biggest story of the year around him and becoming part of it. This is sending a message to America and drawing tremendous coverage...bathing himself in victory. And burnishing his international bonafides while contrasting himself with Hillary’s establishment position. A rally is campaigning 101...this move and the timing is a graduate level course.
Actually 33.6 million or 72-percent of the registered public. There’s only four-percent difference on the final number. British Telegraph has an excellent display of regions and how each voted.
If you ever go and drive around the country....you tend to be surprised over public sentiment in general. Six to eight major cities in the country and they are all multicultural in nature...anchored to sports teams and significant airports. The rest of the country (90-percent of the land mass) is like small-town America. If you ever got into a bad situation....it’s the Brits out in the country that would readily come to render aid or help you out. I find it the same way in France as well. It says a lot about urban society and what attachment they have to their system.
I'm not worried about the move of industries. That's already mostly happened. Industry makes up less than 20% of Britains GDP these days.
Boris and Trump, both from New York, both have unique hair.
Now if only Angela Merkel would step down as chancellor and leader of the CDU in Germany.
If he runs, he’ll have to comb his hair.
David Cameron today, Paul Ryan tomorrow??????
BORIS! BORIS! BORIS! ;') Thanks Cronos.
I don’t agree that Trump’s decision to go to Scotland “will cost him the election.” I see it as an exclamation point to his argument to Make America Great Again. This gives him more power IMO.
You mean we’re not at war now with Radical Islam??
And the folks here in “flyover country”.
Actually quite the opposite. He basically assumed the mantle of President as he appeared as a leader on the international stage. Hillary and bozo looked small, like dumb and dumber.
in 10 years they wont even be that :)
Extortion is an ugly thing.
The British People are cleaning house. Good show on them.
Gosh I wish we had a rule like this when the politicians screw up they resign. If so then Clinton obama would have been gone their first week!
He steps down as PM and party leader. He’s still a Member of Parliament. This is like booting Boehner from Speaker.
Radical Islam is at war with us. The 0b0la administration, though, is on their side.
