Tricky times ahead.
I can imagine a call for an early election and strong calls for change in the union and who knows, Gibralter overwhelmingly voted for the EU, they may have a vote for independance.
All in all exciting times and a grand opportunity for all British people to be more involved with politics instead of having talking heads as representitives. Very exciting times.

Eloquent speech by Cameron. He went down with the ship like a boss.

The party has a solid Commons majority, they won't want to hold a fresh election before they have to. That is probably why the 84 Leave M.P.'s were urging him to stay on even before the votes were being counted (did they have good polling information?).
If the new leader can hold the party together, they will stick it out until the next election is due.
A Brexit vote on Thursday could produce a ‘Black Friday’ as markets react in horror to instability caused by the result, a billionaire who famously bet against the pound and won in the 1992 crash warned today.
George Soros forced then prime minister John Major to pull Britain out of the ‘European Exchange Rate Mechanism’ in 1992, sparking chaos in the markets on a day that went down in history as ‘Black Wednesday’.
Mr Soros today claimed the collapse in the value of the pound on Friday could be even bigger if Britain votes for Brexit and he warned it would leave people poorer.
Currency and stock markets have been on a roller-coaster ride during the referendum campaigning, plunging over the past fortnight as a succession of polls showed a Brexit lead.
