What beautiful political maneuvering from David Cameron on this though.
Rather than invoke the articles to leave the EU he has decided to resign.
What this means in, the central question/issue in the next election in Britain will be "If you are elected, will you invoke the articles of separation?"
This is such an incredible poison pill. Any of the leaders of the group pushing for exiting the EU will now have to run on a) exiting the EU, B) going against their party and referendum result and NOT invoking articles of separation, or C) Putting it to another vote.
Whatever happens, that will be the end of that individuals respective career, whether it's Boris Johnson or this Farage duder. If those guys DON"T run for party leadership it is essentially an admission they don't want anything to do with the Brexit result and will kill their future political career.
David Cameron may have saved the UK by placing Brexit at the feet of the politicians who orchestrated it.
Masterful work.
