Cameron repeatedly stated that government would support the outcome of the referendum, even if it was a pass of just a single vote.
And in the end there was 1.2 million more leave than remain votes. that is a fair size city's worth of people.

My god, just man up and accept the reality. You want second referendum do you? Have you completely lost your minds? Apart from that being highly undemocratic, do you realise what a powerful weapon would you give to the hands of EU top brass, especially that arrogant comrade Juncker? He is pi**** off because Brexit showed him that he won't be able to carry on building and ruling his undemocratic socialist superstate. If you started to beg the EU to have you back not only Brussels would be walking all over you but you would be looked at as the most pathetic nation in the world. It is hard times in front of all of us but don't bloody cry over it, face it and fight it. It's just like when your loved one dies - you are shocked, you are scared of what future holds and you just don't know what to do. You've got two choices - you either ruin your life falling into depression or you just get over it and carry on with your life. So please stop moaning about what happened yesterday - it's done and there is no way back (no democratic way that is).
He did. I think it was 55% needed that he was calling for wasn't it?
But that's completely untrue. We already had the ability to govern ourselves, and nobody had the power to dictate to us. The EU cannot create legislation unless it's passed by the representatives of its member states—including the UK.
If you want to complain about EU legislation, blame British MEPs... like Daniel Hannam.
The German car industry are the biggest lobbiests in Brussels. They sell around £1bn to us a year. There's no way they're going to let the EU impose anything on us that will affect their business with us. Anything that does will mean job losses in Germany, meaning Merkel won't get re-elected. There's no way she'll let that happen either. What will probably happen is that for the zero tarriffs on car sales, the deal the other way will be tarriff free trading.

But doesn't the EEA still require the free movement of citizens between states that are members?
"In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way. If the Remain campaign win two-thirds to one-third that ends it."
Good old Nige, he supports a revote

Again with people thinking it means something other than it did.
Tell us about the brake Norway has used, and how effective it has been again?
You did mention that small town of Lichtenstein uses it, but how about some Norwegian figures please.
There was this tweet: https://twitter.com/eucopresident/status/744862391880454145?lang=en-gb
And another one I can't find which mentioned changes being needed. It's evading me.
Seems to have changed his tune again since.
Cameron also said he would issue notice 50 immediately and not step down. neither of those have happened.
I see, nice explanation, thanks.
Yes, but the uk is in a more powerful position with the more affluent countries compared to those who joined the EEA, since a fair sized chunk of the franch and german economies relies on exports to the uk. so we could arrange our own deal in the end that can be better.
Just need to declare the Republic of London, NI to join Dublin, the Wales to revolt when they realise nobody will give them grants and England can finally be it's own Kingdom. Everyone will be happy and long live the EU.
God save the UK...

Yay, we've put ourselves in complete uncertainty, as of yet have no plan whatsoever for the aftermath, Scotland discussing on whether to leave our union, truly a great time for Great Britain.
So Cameron is being demonised for leaving his post in a controlled fashion because he said he wouldn't step down and also said he'd immediately step down?
He's the wrong person to deliver brexit because he doesn't believe in it. Only problem is there isn't anyone to replace him that does.

I can’t see there being a second vote under current circumstances however I can see the scenario…
Corbyn will go and be replaced by a ‘normal’ Labour leader, who’s pro EU and electable. The Tories will have leadership contest and of the two finalists Boris will be one and a pro-European another. The pro-European who wants to remain will win the leadership contest, as people come to terms with the ramifications of a potential exit and because most Tory members’ would have voted remain.
Now the two leaders of the main parties are pro-European and have been elected into that position based on this. Part of their mandate is to keep Britain in the EU which will lead to another general election and referendum.
Maybe I’m away with the fairies but I can’t see how Boris and Co can unite, firstly the Tories and secondly the people enough to form a working and coherent government.

Or we sneakily convince more nations to leave and **** up the eu?
I dunno would that be even possible?
