You might note that Churchill replaced Chamberlain with no GE, as Lloyd George did Asquith - not to mention Thatcher and Blair also pushed out. UK is a parliamentary, representative democracy, not a direct one.

That's true Paul. But sixty years of military occupation in the West Bank and illegal settlements of 700,000 is having an impact -most notably in high Muslim areas, but more broadly. People like Alan Duncan, Soames etc need to be replaced. Parl opinion is out of touch

A hugely sad day for Britain + Europe. Both will lose, Britain particularly will be poorer + less influential in the world. Hard to see any big challenge - climate change, future of work, refugees, nuclear proliferation, China’s rise - that Brexit helps. This is not for ever.
