I still can't believe Cameron gave the voting population a vote and then announced he would resign before the A50 deal was done, when the vote majority was Brexit.

Pretty sure this is not what he said he would do, thought he said he would sort things out, regardless of the referendum result.

Right now, I am clueless who I will vote for in the next general election, Royston Smith only had a ~2300 majority IIRC in 2015. I'd like to see the whole voting system shaken up with Proportional Representation.

My work relies heavily on the EU so I would vote to remain, the uncertainty of leaving really does scare me.

If Junker gets his way I doubt it going to be favourable for us.

But I am speaking from a position of worry.

IMO Cameron resigning was a pretty poor thing to do given all he had said before hand.

Despite my anger at some of the rubbish he was spouting during the campaign, I've had half a mind to start a petition for the withdrawal of his resignation. Fact is he is far more familiar with the EU system than BoJo & co. will be.

The outcome of the vote is to leave the EU. Everything else is for negotiation.

We definitely need some good negotiators, be they politicians or diplomats with bargaining skills or business oriented people appointed in that role..

My point is that would people still vote leave, if they still can't "control" EU immigration, we still pay a hefty fee for being part of the single market, still have to incorporate some EU law but now don't get involved in any decision making?

That is a possibility and that changes the context of the vote.

The ironic thing, is that we may control EU immigration by destroying our economy so nobody wants to come here anyway.

He has betrayed the population by resigning before A50, in my opinion.
 
similar thread over on mumsnet it seems, and quite a few on there regret it.

EDIT: Found swearing, link delete.

One thing I'm curious about; the Lib Dems have pledged that their MPs will not vote for Brexit. That counts in the case of a commons vote on Article 50, and at future elections, where the party will campaign for continued (or renewed) membership of the European Union.

If there's an early general election, this surely puts Labour and the Tories in a difficult spot? If they say 'The nation decided to leave the EU when it voted on the 23rd June. We stand by that result.' they risk losing considerable votes from fervent Remainers. If either of them backs a Remain position, they will lose large numbers of votes to UKIP. If they fail to choose a position, or pledge another referendum, I suspect they'll lose voters to everyone.

I'm not really sure how they deal with that? It seems to me that the two big parties lose whatever direction they take?

Yes, either main party could lose followers in that regard, but that would entirely likely be balanced out by them gaining votes from their direct opposition based on the fact that they're promising what they want.

I don't think Labour voters would en masse refuse to vote Cons if Labour went out and Cons went in. Some hardcore voters might go with Greens or something instead but a lot would switch.

I'm sure many people feel that way, because it's what they wanted.

I would feel betrayed if he'd done it, then stepped down. That's simply a perception thing.
 
By the way, I've checked the voters. I can say with absolute certainty that the 1.19% of voters saying "I voted remain but would now choose to leave" is inaccurate :)
