Cameron hinted that he probably during the Congress of the Conservatives in October pulls out of Downing Street. Exit negotiations with the EU should then start with a new prime minister. “The country needs a new leadership,” the conservative politician told journalists before his official residence Dowing Street number 10. Cameron insisted he loved his country. “It is an honor that I have served him.”

The British had decided on Thursday a majority for a withdrawal from the EU. Cameron had advertised for a stay in the country. He stepped in front of the cameras after the official vote result was announced. Accordingly, the Proposed referendum on United Kingdom membership of the European Union advocates came to 51.9 percent of the vote, the pro-EU camp was only 48.1 percent.



The British now need a viable negotiating team

Many observer in London had already expected that David Cameron’s days would be counted in a vote for the Proposed referendum on United Kingdom membership of the European Union – although at night more than 80 of its deputies sent a letter to him and begged him weiterzuregieren

conceivable appeared even before his appearance that the Prime Minister would remain in office until a successor has been cleared in order to avoid a political vacuum. Britain must now compile especially a workable negotiating team that represents the country at a difficult and potentially lengthy exit negotiations with the EU.

However, the UK has the potential to delay the onset of the exit negotiations first. The two-year negotiation period begins only when the British formally declare their withdrawal. The top representatives of the European Union, however, the UK prompted “as soon as possible” to draw conclusions from the Proposed referendum on United Kingdom membership of the European Union referendum. “Any delay would prolong the uncertainty unnecessary”, told EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, European Council President Donald Tusk, EU Parliament chief Martin Schulz and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Friday in Brussels in writing.

“We need a Proposed referendum on United Kingdom membership of the European Union government,” said Nigel Farage, leader of the anti-EU UK Independence Party (UKIP), which for decades advocated withdrawal from the European Confederation. The UK economy warned on Friday morning government and central bank, now to show leadership: “We need a strong and peaceful leadership of the government and the Bank of England to ensure confidence and stability in the economy,” said Carolyn Fairburn, Director General of UK’s largest trade association CBI

at the same time it also warns against quick fixes. “the decisions we make in the coming months, will affect future generations. This is not the time for hasty decisions. “

The leader of the opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, urged Prime Minister David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne on now to stabilize the currency and to help ensure that the British economy continues to have access to the major European markets. UK wraps so far from about half of its foreign trade with the other EU countries. If the UK leaves the EU, but it also threatens the freedom of access to the EU internal market to lose.
