Maybe Trudeaux and Queen Izzy can come to an agree whereby the Queen becomes the queen of both Canada and the "United" Kingdom, and Trudeaux can be the president of both.
Big Dave aint so big after this
thought it was b8 and fake link
but it's real
!!!!!
>>61212723
Have you been sniffing glue or something? I barely even know what the fuck that is? We have some semi-competent potential PMs waiting in the wings.
fucking weakling
isn't it like career suicide for him>?
to resign at time of great pressure?
like imagine churchill saying "haha peace im out my niggas" during WW2
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!
Why did you make him cry, bongs?
Pig-fucker Dodgy Dave doesn't have what it takes.
>>61212828
>to resign at time of great pressure?
thats not why he's doing it. you can't just go around saying that brexit would cause an untold amount of damage for the economy, then when your country does actually vote in favour of it continue to run it.
also if the
>Cameron’s team in Downing Street were shocked and distraught by the narrow win for leave
narrow win thing is true, 4chan might have been the deciding factor
forging memes that later make it into the information field of normies
meme magik is real?
literally started laughing on the train after i read this
>>61212828
Didn't he say that he would resign if leave wins?
>>61212613
>Bait a minority of people in to voting for you by promising a referendum that won't pass anyway
>That minority turns out to be a majority
This is a sitcom-tier twist of events.
someone summarize the happenings for me please
Why did people want to leave the EU in the first place? I keep hearing because of nationalism or freedom or something but surely theres some actual reason? and are the effects as devastating as everyone is saying?

This is so fucking confusing to me. I didn't realise this was a thing PMs did. When was the last time it happened? what the fuck
> Incendiary politician leading his country to an unnecessary referendum
> Ignorant plebs votes to shoot at their own feet
You made the wine, so you have a cup, based Cameron
>>61213190
Basically britbongs dont know how economy works and voted out.
>>61212723
Are you fucking retarded?
Lizzie already is the Queen of Canada, separately from the being Queen of the UK
>>61212613
>Get elected because of a retarded referendum
>Britain willingly shoots itself in the foot just to have him resign
Didn't this guy have like a 15% approval rating?
Thanks for handing over the financial capital.
>>61212613
Wtf I like Cameron now
>>61213392
>leech mad that he has one less cow to suck from
Weird how Farage is the real winner out of this and yet the one with the least "real" political power. Am I right in that?
>>61213358
wait what
PMs always resign if they stake their credibility/government on specific legislation
>>61212613
He quits the power with dignity.
>>61212613
sucha spineless faggot
farage is getting smug as hell about now
>>61213531
I've never known of an Australian PM to resign. They either lose an election or lose a leadership challenge. Or goes for a swim, or the Queen kicks them out. I can't imagine it happening, it feels so weird
>>61213575
>David Cameron
>dignity
Please choose one, and only one.
>>61213467
That sounds really dumb though. I refuse to believe that many people are this dumb. There must be more to it
>>61213190
>keep hearing because of nationalism or freedom or something but surely theres some actual reason?
because they didn't like that merkel and other people were making big decisions that affected them hugely (because they were bound by them) without having any actual democratic stake in them happening.
we honestly don't know what the effects will be.
>>61213467
Fresh off the boat from reddit kid? The UK is fine without the EU, it's just a short shock that will be over soon
>>61213809
Best way to sum this whole thing up.
>>61213828
Fresh off the ferry from /pol/ kid?
>>61213766
It was much more than just muh economy.
MUH ECONOMY is the only argument pro-EU shills have, and it's not even a logical one.
How would you feel if people in Belgium made laws and regulation and your country had to follow them? Shit is a matter of national sovereignty

Americans wanted UK to stay because it's their single most effective point of influence to the EU
>>61213828
>I'm from /pol/ and let me tell you about your country
Well then, interesting times ahead all right. Just got to hope that the pro-leaving politicians were right and we'll end up stronger on the other side.
>>61213904
>How would you feel if people in DC made laws and regulation and your country had to follow them?
but I already live in that world. You fuckers signed up for a EUROPEAN UNION and you ceded political control for a transnational entity.
>>61213990
right, well, on to the next. now we'll have to ask mrs. merkel on whether she'd like a special relationship...
>>61214135
she's already directly spied on by the five eyes desu, i don't think it would change all that much if you picked her up instead

Okay I obviously don't know shit about british politics
How can the PM just up and leave? I mean imagine if Obama decided one day to stop being the president.
Who's doing the PM shit right now?
>>61214397
He will leave by October, they will appoint someone else by then maybe have an election as well.
>>61214397
That's what's got me so baffled. I've never heard of a PM just resigning. Replacing him is fairly simple though, if it works exactly the same as here. Whoever the party in power chooses to be their next leader will be PM. You vote the party in, not the person.
Still fucking weird. why'd he do it, lads
>>61214135
>we'll have to ask mrs. merkel on whether she'd like a special relationship...
Hm I always thought you thought yourselves to be above that
I mean, what do WE have to offer that would be of interest to Americans?
Our media likes to think of ourselves as somewhat powerful, like we're involved in the Five-Eyes or whatever, but it's bullshit. Our NSA (BND) is fucking incompetent and probably doesn't even manage to suck NSA's dick to get intel from them.
We have absolutely no political power in the UNSC and despite being the """"largest power"""" in the EU all they do is hold speeches and wank each other's dicks.
USA or Russia or China could probably single-handedly destroy Germany and/or some parts of the EU. Heck, I'd go so far as to say Canada would stand a good chance as well because at least they have some integrity left.
He really screwed the pig on this one lads
>>61213190
They don't like us.
>>61214613
>I mean, what do WE have to offer that would be of interest to Americans?
Putin thinks you like him for some reason. Also theoretically you guys could have a strong military that would train well with American special forces if you didn't turn your nazi swords into plowshares
>>61214397
you have a prime minister too, it's this guy
>>61212723 (((((((You))))))))

Didn't Nixon resign?

The premiership is an executive office, not a legislative one. Just because the prime minister is traditionally a member of parliament is only because a government in the Westminster system has to pass a vote of confidence. There have been British PMs who have been Lords for instance.
The House Majority leader has no executive power and is no way analogous to the PM. The closer comparison would be the leader of the government in the house.
>>61214397
>imagine if Obama decided one day to stop being the president
Then Joe Biden would take over because that's the job of the Vice President?
I thought this was obvious. Is our education really that fucked up?
>>61212828
He was the frat boy of an obnoxious fraternity and never left his frat roots behind.
He is still so burthurt about his frat background that he even applied copyright to his frat group picture and forbid British media from posting the old picture of his college frat.

>when a leaf replies to your pos
>>61215022
what's wrong with his post, dubs? looks fine to me.
>>61214787
Majority Leader isn't a legal office. Our parties aren't officially sanctioned.
>>61212723
do you even know what a constitutional monarchy is m8 ?
>>61215244
I know, but to answer your question the pm resigning is pretty similar to that guy resigning
>>61215385
Oh, I see what you're saying. The man is gone, but the balance of power in the legislature remains the same.
>>61215469
exactly, the conservatives will just elect one of their MPs as leader
>>61213617
Yeah, but they go to the polls every five years, versus our three. Add to that, they literally just had an election last year. You really wouldn't want some sad sack hanging around for four. more. years.
>>61215244
...so, the same as ours?
>>61215001
I don't really know what a 'frat' is but it isn't a thing here.
>>61214787
you are retarded
in the US, president is the head of government, just like prime minister is the head of government in parliament system
just because the speaker is also the popular dude in the representative chamber doesn't make him the "prime minister"
prime minister is the monarch's first minister, which would be more analogous to secretary of state in the president's cabinet (since president is also head of state)
>>61212987
>you can't just go around saying that brexit would cause an untold amount of damage for the economy
The Pound lost 25% of it's value today
>>61214397
Nixon resigned you dumb nerd
>>61215598
So, basically, if he didn't resign there would've been a leadership spill at some point to get rid of him?
>>61213285

If fucking over the EU was all it took to get rid of Cameron then why didn't you lads do this years ago?
>>61213285
>If he were Japanese, he would have to do Seppuku now lol.
Then why is this bitch still breathing?
I want Scotland and N. Ireland leave the ship now.
>>61216636
Dangerous move. Crimea sounds a lot like Karelia, doncha think?
>>61214787
Majority leader just speaks for the house majority. He has no real power outside of what his party, and the house gives him.

He's a shit for doing this. A leader has to provide a feeling of stability for his people in times like this, not take his ball and go home cause things didn't go according to plan.

Coincidently their economy has been shit for 20 years and they are on of the most depressed country on earth.
But I guess since they hate foreigners and have a 200% pure YAMATOTO blood it doesn't count Amarite?

Wait, so Boris is in the same party as David Cameron? And David Cameron was openly against leaving the EU, right? That's why he's resigning?
How come Boris was going around being extremely in favour of leaving? Isn't that sort of going against the party/PM? Does the UK just not give a fuck about that sort of thing or something. Cos I feel like any minister acting like that here would have been reined in and told to align with the party line.
>>61214397
PM is just a regular member of parliament who the party in power decides will lead it, he'll still be an MP but will be replaced as PM.
Our executive isn't separate from the legislature basically.
God save the Queen tbqh
>>61221087
Basically Britain normally has a constitutional convention called collective cabinet responsibility, where the leading members of the political parties agree while in power to never publicly display their disagreements or compete with other another. This was temporarily suspended during the course of the campaign. It was supposed to allow the pressure of twenty five years of Euroscepticism to drain out calmly, but instead the referendum turned into a ridiculous cat fight with Boris Johnson essentially being set up as an alternative prime minister, and Cameron's authority draining away literally overnight due to scaremongering. The scaremongering led to voters getting pissed and in response turning to the Leave side.

So what's going to happen to the UKIP?
They've done their job now haven't they? Not much point in keeping the "Independence Party" name anymore.
>>61213190
The effects wont be nearly as big as people are saying, the suddent drop in the british currency happened because "leave" wasnt priced by the market previously. Everyone was betting remain would win.
The only economic effects they may have are trading with eu, but that really wont change much, at least not in such a small amount of time. And in many ways the devaluation in currency can be a good thing when thinking about trade.
>mfw betting was 75% remain
>>61225739
No, now they need "independence" from the brown people.
>>61212613
what do you Brits think of him? the worst prime minister ever?
>>61225981
The fact that a breakup of the union will almost certainly be attributed to his leadership puts him in the running.
>>61225947
So, a UK Nationalist Party? But a nationalist party that still holds to socialist causes, like the NHS.
Wait a sec
Didn't he say like a week ago that he will remain no matter what?
Is he that salty enough to go back on his word?

And it'll bounce back soon enough once the financial markets realise that a Brexit doesn't mean that the world stops spinning.

The EU is an undemocratic pile of shit ran by bureaucrats who only have their own interests in mind, and see the interests of the score of membership states as a means to their own end.
They also have some scary ideas about how to deal with a lower birthrate: importing fucktons of third worlders.
