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
Name and shame!

Last night I heard him described as a modern Winston Churchill by a guy a work, funny enough an ex-history lecturer.
He isn't a Winston in my mind but he is certainly brave in regards to his own political career.
Even his own family warned him a Remain vote, which was considered an almost certain at the time would destroy his future in politics. He could have played the remain side card and been in the running for PM with the UK voting to remain. He has proven he is electable, probably far more than Osborne without the EU referendum.
Instead he took the dangerous route. A route that looked like certain defeat at the beginning so I see in some ways the Churchill comparison who took a tough stance at a time the UK looked like it faced certain defeat.
I think UK politics has been long overdue a shake up and I think we are now getting it.
He betrayed the population by calling the referendum in a vain attempt to placate his own restless Eurosceptic mp's, hoping it would shut them up & allow him to stay in power, so we're leaving the EU because of that spineless pathetic excuse for a prime minister.

Another Tory said a few days ago having Boris as a PM would be a roller-coaster ride.
I think he's right, a mixture of nervous highs, wild jerks and sickening plunges.
I especially mistrust any politician whose hair moves while they speak.

to be honest i think that there should be a snap general election and farage should win.
im certainly not one of his supporters but i think he should be held accountable for all of his lies of what he said a brexit will bring. I reckon even he would think twice about pushing that button on article 50. the brexit camp seems to have gone very quiet.

Funnily enough, this whole thing is like that scene in the Worlds End when Peggs character tells the Network to F Off.
I have visions of Cameron, Farage and Boris all frantically driving away from the middle of Newton Haven as it implodes.
Five glasses of water please.....
Yep.
If people think things are bad now (which they're really not) wait until another referendum is called, there would be riots, and I'd certainly join. Democracy is democracy, you can't just keep holding votes.

But didn't the majority of voters, that cared, vote to leave the EU thereby he gave the voters what they wanted. Wierd how voters that lost the vote think he betrayed the nation but if they had won he would have been hailed a hero. We are leaving the EU because that is what the voting population wanted.

I doubt a second ref, given the official statements today and the bot-spammed petition. But knowing our well-oiled democracy, a general election might be a safer cop-out for them all anyway.
Leave, since this was our one and only chance. we would never have been given another chance at a referendum unless a very eurosceptic party came to power. But by then it could have been far too late with the amount of integration we would have with the EU and leaving would have been far more painful than it is now.
we needed to do this before the EU removed our ability to veto legislation and increased integration further.

all the polls on here in the build up were pro leave... yet now there are more people claiming they voted remain... not that they've changed their minds but that they voted that way in the beginning
Less voters in this poll, when it catches up let's look again.
