I feel very bad for the family of MP Jo Cox (Labour). Very sad, very, very sad. On the other hand, I see Leave winning by a few points. If that's the case, PM Cameron will probably have to step aside for Boris Johnson or Michael Gove as PM and Tory leader. However, Johnson is very charismatic and could beat Corbyn in the PMQ's. However, people see Johnson as the British Trump. Imagine Prime Minister Johnson meeting with President Donald Trump.

Boris Johnson will not be Prime Minster; not matter the result of the referendum.

I think he may. There is tension right now in the Conservative Party. I could see him, Osborne, May, or even a dark horse like Priti Patel, a Hindu MP to be a potential successor to Cameron.

There is too much MPs hating Boris for him to be PM.

Conservatives use an hybrid method for electing leader, MPs vote on the candidates, by rounds, elimilating the lowest vote getter until there is only 2 candidates, which are sent on full membership election. So, you need consequent support among the MPs to reach the final step.

A good dark horse would be Stephen Crabb. Young, handsome. He could lead the Tories for another generation.

Despite the poll that was released on Saturday, I still see Britain leaving the EU, and then Cameron will probably leave as PM and Tory Leader. Another potential Tory leader is Oliver Letwin, who is the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Letwin would be a potentially good choice for the Tories.

I don't want to say this, but I think Britain is going to leave tonight. I have a strong feeling.

I think Leave will win at the end. Cameron will be out soon.

In all seriousness though

this is really, really terrible.

Eh, it depends. You can't have a mass influx of refugees and undocumented immigrants. It's not good.

With this, I wonder if Cameron will step down tomorrow. This is a big development. George Osborne would have to step aside as Finance Minister as well.
