As agreed, the “New Settlement for the United Kingdom within the European Union”, reached at the European Council on 18-19 February 2016, will now not take effect and ceases to exist. There will be no renegotiation.

If we are just looking at the numbers they voted to be out, but like what 30 percent didn't even vote and the results of the people who voted are pretty close, so a little more than half of the people voted out. The rest has to live with a descision merely made by people who will die sooner than later.

If remain won, you wouldn't care about how close it was. People voted out and if they have to vote again then what was the point? They might as well just fix it to the result they want.

That's resigned, so we need to wait for the Conservatives to elect a new leader before we begin exit negotiations.

Britain.. just GTFO already.

I don't mean to be rude or aggressive, but you voted out and now it appears as though the UK has no intention of leaving.. like c'mon.

We have no intention of leaving because our current Prime Minister doesn't want to trigger Article 50.

Cameron has effectively passed on the ticking time bomb. Whilst Boris is saving face, he doesn't want to either.

One way or another, it's going to destroy someone's career. It's not lawful. It's advisory. Several - and I'm approximating 8 - have already resigned, some sacked. And that's just the last few hours. I've honestly lost count at this point.

There's still little chance that this will not happen. Either by veto, overturn or simply NO ONE willing to act upon on the electorate.

As far as I'm aware there haven't any Cabinet resignations.

I don't know how that makes any difference to what I said?

Government includes the Shadow Cabinet which is what I referred to.

We're all aware the PM is resigning and Lord Hill also. This is not an average week at the office

A shadow government isn't a government. Well you learn something new everyday here on atrl.

Well no, because they aren't capable of taking any executive decisions. They hold the Government to account but they aren't a government in and of themselves.

He also said that the timing of the formal request to leave the EU - by triggering Article 50 of the EU's Lisbon Treaty - would be a British decision. Article 50 would begin a two-year exit process to renegotiate trade, business and political links between the UK and the EU.
Those remarks contradicted European Parliament President Martin Schulz, who told the German weekly "Bild am Sonntag" that EU lawmakers want Britain to officially apply to leave by Tuesday, when EU leaders will hold their summit in Brussels.
The four biggest groups in the European Parliament have also called for proceedings to begin on Tuesday, according to the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung" newspaper.

Already getting ugly.

Please don't punish us too much EU - Please think of the 16 million people who want to stay

[J a y]

I think everyone will debate this for several months, the EU urging us to leave immediately, the government and 'random people that just stand around in suits all day but are not apart of, nor represent the government in any way, shape or form' will just keep tossing the hot potato with NO intention to leave the EU whatsoever as no one really wanted this catastrophe except madmen like Farage, Putin and Trump.

Those voters that voted Leave on the basis of sticking the two fingers up to the system have effectively done so on false promises, not even mere hours after the result their leaders have backtracked causing those people to distrust them even more - the irony!

The campaigners are running around like headless chickens attempting to reassure the idiots still listening to their nonsense. No one believes a word they're saying.

Behind closed doors I would not be surprised if people are really trying to find the best way of resolving this matter without causing even more chaos. Nicola could be our saving grace (Scotland, please save us ) They're damned if they do and damned if they don't.

I cannot wait for the Leavers to flood our streets with tears when they realise they've completely been ****ed over and they've lost everything they thought they voted to keep. The right-wing publications currently have the best comments.. Brexiters suddenly surprised at what's happened and are too backtracking on their decision. A kiiii

Come on Ireland! You best France today!
Defy the odds!

Wrong thread.

Gisela Stuart for Labour & Andrea Leadsom for the Conservatives please. PMQs would be a hoot.

We are leaving but you have to understand even if we didn't have to wait until October for new Conservative leadership there are still two years worth of negotiations to be done, this is obviously not a simple issue where it can just be resolved in a couple of days, and frankly you would have to be stupid not to recognize that.

No, delaying and dithering is damaging to all the European economies. If no one had a plan for what to do after winning, then they shouldn't have gone ahead with the referendum in the first place.

Imagine if a new political party was elected and they said, "oh wait guys, we don't really know what we're going to do yet, can we wait 5-6 months while we decide?".

They should invoke article 50 this month and get on with it. Or perhaps they should admit they made a big mistake and call it off... but they should pick one option.

Andrea will probably get a Cabinet role, I can't see her becoming PM, though.
