Who to replace Cameron?

Who was the stocky little conservative with one-day stubble who said he might be interested? Youngish, from the 'leave' camp

We will have very similar Daphne - Johnson and Gove

Stephen Crabbe, Anya? He might be rather too inexperienced in my view.

comes to something when I think Liam Fox is the best of a bad lot (even though he held the door open for me in a pub recently & attends out local cider & beer festival each year). I hope it's not Teresa May as she seems to think people put on disability but the others well I hope I don't live too long before I starve to death as I'm 100% convinced they will cut benefits again and give more tax breaks to the rich

God! petra. That's a bit blatant! (about the long hail flights)

That's the kind of thing which you might think, but never say!

I think common sense will win the day, and it will be long tall-sally Theresa.

Theresa May is probably the best of a bad lot.

Although she said she supported Remain, she was about as enthusiastic and conspicuous as Jeremy Corbyn, so quite o lot of Tory Leavers might not have noticed.

In spite of her silly shoes, I don't think she's anything like as vain as Boris or most of these ghastly men.

Boris Johnson If he runs for leadership of the party, and then fails to follow through on triggering Article 50, then he is finished. If he does not run and effectively abandons the field, then he is finished. If he runs, wins and pulls the UK out of the EU, then it will all be over - Scotland will break away, there will be upheaval in Ireland, a recession ... broken trade agreements. Then he is also finished. Boris Johnson knows all of this. When he acts like the dumb blond it is just that: an act. I suspect DC knows all this

Boris will write his memoirs, which will be a bestseller. He'll appear on HIGNFY and earn a fortune as an after dinner speaker. In a few years he might do a 'Neil Hamilton' and reappear somewhere.

It's premature to hope he's finished.

I agree that May is the best of a very bad bunch.

Not Boris Johnson, Whitewave. I think Teresa May is the steadying hand we need at the moment. Don't underestimate the Lady.

Nelliemoser - no, I'm not rich enough that it won't affect me. I'm a 61-year old working class Northener (which probably classes me as a "racist bigot" as well by the Remainers), I have to work until I'm 66, and my husband who is 67 is still working because we can't afford not to (we have a mortgage to pay). I come from a Labour-supporting family but I've always voted Tory and will continue to do so. I want to leave the EU because I'm fed up of them spending OUR money and generously giving some of it back to us.. I want us to make OUR laws and not have them thrust upon us by unknown, unelected buffoons in Brussels. I am sick of hearing the London/Scotland Remainers insisting on another referendum just because they didn't get their own way! There was bound to be turmoil in the stock markets etc but as happened in the past it will sort itself out in a matter of weeks. And as for house prices dropping .... bloody great!!! My 31-year old daughter can't afford to be a home-owner, even up here in the Frozen North, because bloody foreign investors force up prices everywhere. About time prices dropped! The economy is strong, thanks to the Tory government and we can wait it out. I voted Leave and I'd vote Leave again - but I hope that as we live in a democracy, I won't have to.

I think this pair should rule England,

Missislipy , any wealthy person from any country will be welcomed in this country . Immigrants do not come here to invest money in housing, they come here to work

Sorry to tell you this, missislipy, but if house prices drop and the pound is devalued, there will be even more foreign investors with the profits squirrelled away in tax havens.

My 31-year old daughter can't afford to be a home-owner, even up here in the Frozen North, because bloody foreign investors force up prices everywhere. About time prices dropped!

And how will leaving the EU help your daughter?

Foreign investors don't even have to visit the UK to buy property here.

This has been appearing on FB. It might be the answer.

This is my last comment on the whole sorry situation. Put the Muppets in charge. Miss Piggy to run the country (police force, etc.) send Sam, the A. Bald Eagle over to negotiate the divorce. Silly? Not as silly as the bunch of muppets that got us into this sorry mess in the first place. To hold a referendum without doing your homework is unforgivable (the repercussions???). And.... deep breath..... to ignore, what the people have been telling you for a number of years with their voting slips (see UKIP popularity. What 'educated'? politician doesn't see the writing on the wall???). Well, look at the result. I'm not going to say what I voted for, or my political persuasion (some will know from past posts, so not hiding it) but, the sorry outcome is the division of a country, the division of families even, and a complete lack of intelligent thought from those, elected, to look after us. Beggers belief, and people are verbally (please god, stop any violence toward the minorities) tearing chunks out of each other, even friends and family. What a shambles. I'm off to cook now, or I'll have an indoor revolution. It was nice today though, so see some threads start up that didn't start with 'Who likes pink petunias' and get snarling replies of 'Well, I USED TO! but now I don't suppose I'll get any, as they came from...... '. What's done is done. Hope we can all move forward peacefully now.

If house prices fall, as the pound hits a 30 year low, more foreign investors will be snapping them up.

Anniebach 08.48am Yet you voted for what they didn't want.

Can someone get my maths right please. If 2/3 of conservatives are supposed to have voed remain[thought it was 60% myslef], and 2/3 of Labour voters are supposed to have voted remain, who was it who voted for Leave??

1)
It was not a vote on party lines-remember? LEAVE or REMAIN-no mention of political party on the ballot sheet.
2)
Not everybody in the country belongs to a political party
3)
Even if it had been, there are Greens, UKIP, SNP, WNP and others

What was the question again?

Thanks. In which case, the figures that some posters are bandying about, concerning Labour and conservative voters, are not correct.

Did you mean MP's, obieone?
You didn't say so.

No I didn't mean MPs. Ah, perhaps that is where I am getting confused. I will look into it all more.
