    Remember that the referendum was not a binding referendum.

    Heard on the wireless this morning that apparently the Americans are pretty happy. They are now no longer the dumbest nation in the world.

    They'll get the chance to retake that crown in November.

    Anyway, love the way people want another referendum because they weren't happy with the result of the first one. Let's have a do-over until we get the result we want
    Yes had the remain vote won by just one percent I'm sure you wouldn't have all this re-due the vote rubbish.... and as for Ireland /Scots voting out of Great Britain .... that wouldn't be as bad for England as many think ...the Scots depend soon to be depleted north sea for a great bulk of their income and overall have been a drag on the UK..

    Reading this it looks as if Scotland or Northern Ireland could veto Brexit.
    If parliament passes legislation to prevent the above we could see the break up of the UK.

    Would it really matter if the UK split up?

    The only sensible comment ive heard has been from Merkel who said " calm down". It is the function of Governents to govern and they should ignore the referendum result in the first instance. Then I think that in order, Cameron should resign immediately for being an idiot, the interim leader Theresa May should then call the Parliament and put the vote to leave as a conscience vote. If the vote is to leave, the Government should dissolve the Parliament and call fresh elections so that the electorate can have another go. Too much democracy is not a good thing in my opinion and never call a referendum unless you are sure it will go you way.
