An interesting take on this:

It sounds like now it's up to the politicians. Basically it might come down to whether they will show they have actual back bones or whether they will simply back down and let the people crying over this vote get their way.
The people have voted, they have decided what they want.

Yes👆He cried like a baby, just like Obama did when he lost executive amnesty.
Now I'm very jealous of them. At least their cry baby leader stepped down.
Can you just imagine though if a leader stepped down every time a vote just didn't go his way?
Dude, this supposed ultra liberal would kick foreigners out after 2 years for not learning their language.
Hilarious. Though if after 2 years they still haven't learned the language that makes it quite clear they are never going to bother assimilating.

So the real question is who is Cameron and what does he really represent.
Am I the only one amused over Scottland and how they want to leave the UK? They clearly don't want another country making decisions for them that they do not agree with. Now hmm..I wonder where I've heard that kind of argument before when it comes to reasons to leave a certain group.

They are stepping down as a sign of taking responsibility for their failure.Not because they are crybabies.
Again I'm jealous, I wish Obama would take notes and resign after his failures.
But I read that people on both sides of the remain/leave debate have urged him to remain the PM. So what about his responsibility to the people who elected him?
He failed to get them to vote to stay in the EU..okay, but he's acting like he tried to get people to vote not to have another world war and they all voted in favor of another world war.
Oh and just because I am curious: when is the next election? In how many years? In other words how long are they going to have to deal with having a leader they did not choose?
It's hilarious watching the Westminster parties tear themselves apart now. In a week where Labour should be capitalising on the Tories being in total disarray with their leader resigning and their Chancellor MIA, because Jeremy Corbyn went against his life long stance of leaving the EU and instead chose to campaign for Remain in order to avoid his own party collapsing, now that it's an exit vote the Blairites who are more centre right than left are now calling for Corbyn to resign.
Cameron has resigned without triggering article 50 and Boris Johnson supporters have admitted that he has no plan for what comes next so Johnson either has to run for leader and have the massive task of enacting article 50 (things like organising and bearing the costs of reissuing 10's of millions of passports and building customs checkpoints on the Irish border against huge resistance for example)...or he can run but delay triggering article 50 indefinitely. He can declare the intent to consider the referendum advisory (which is what it is, legally speaking) and so have no obligation to enforce it which would ruin him politically)
All the while Scotland and Northern Ireland will be negotiating their own positions with regards to the EU and whether to hold referendums to break away from the UK in order to continue in Europe
For those who asked previously in another thread, I voted leave. Not for any of the reasons the official leave campaign were touting about immigration because frankly I'd rather have a hard working Polish or Asian guy living next door than some toothless junkie native who's never worked a day in their life). I voted primarily on the threat of TTIP and all that would come with it.
There's also people in here saying it's a victory for the right over liberals. What nonsense. The EU isn't a right/left issue. There were several large trade unions that campaigned for a leave vote just as there were others campaigned for Remain. There were corporate leaders arguing both sides too.
