David Cameron announces resignation as UK votes to leave EU
CNN ^

Posted on 06/24/2016 5:35:53 AM PDT by nuconvert

-excerpt-

He said that "the British people have voted to leave the EU and their will must be respected... the will of the British people is an instruction which must be delivered."

"There can be no doubt about the result."

Cameron gave no timetable for his departure, but said that he wanted a new leader to be in place by October when his Conservative Party holds its annual conference.

Boris Johnson, a former London mayor who campaigned for the UK's departure from the EU, is tipped by bookmakers as Cameron's likely successor.

Johnson, who was greeted by a booing crowd when he left his home on Friday morning, thanked voters for their decision, pledged that the UK would remain committed to Europe and urged unity.

"I think the electorate have searched in their hearts and answered as honestly as they can," he said. "They have decided to vote to take back control from a European Union that has become too remote."

Cameron was a globalist who tried every tactic to defeat Brexit.

Well...I guess I can own up to it now... My DNA is 80% English... The average Brit nowadays (from What I have read) is around 60% English....go figure.

I was following the big FR BREXIT thread last night & stayed up until 1:00 watching Varney - what a night! Along with the Brit lady, Bolton was awesome - he’s usually so serious behind that fierce mustache, but last night he was almost giddy - fun to see. So very happy for the Brits - now the heavy lifting begins to actually make leaving happen.

“Trump spoke today at Turnberry, Scotland at his newly-renovated golf resort, and laid the entire responsibility for the results of the Brexit vote at Obama’s feet.”

You obviously were watching a different speech than the rest of us, he didn’t blame Obama for the voting results in the speech the rest of us saw.

Do you have a link to a replay of the one you saw?

There may be other interesting things he said in yours.

Getting rid of Cameron is the equivalent of us getting rid of Omuslim.

Doesn’t sound like a resignation if he doesn’t leave his post. It sounds more like someone annoucing their own sucide attempt awaiting the outcrys of sympthy to “stay”.

No. it is how their system works. Basically BREXIT was a no confidence vote in the current UK Gub'ment leadership because they all wanted to stay in the EU. Cameron announces he is stepping down so the process of forming a new government can start.

UKIP will now seek to from a new government most likely and see who they can get to go along like Tories and such. Atleast this is what my UJ friends are telling me.
