The 1922 needs to tell Cameron to go now. A 3 month leadership contest is a non starter in the circumstances. We need a proper leader to navigate this crisis not a weeping, broken man.
An interim leader is seriously required. Grayling ?

One friend who has recently retired from a senior position with a Japanese bank, and who is definitely not someone prone to exaggeration, said he thought it was the end of London as the leading financial centre in the timezone.
After all the turmoil of the next few months - Article 50/multiple leadership elections/negotiations starting with EU - and winter coming... I can't see it being good for the country to throw in a GE as well.

"Brexit was all about democracy, take back control!"
We were warned there would be chaos. There is now chaos. There will be different visions of how to resolve the chaos. Should we ask voters?
"I can't see it being good for the country "
Once again, a fellow Brexiteer provides the apposite phrase.
Fuck off. Please. Just fuck off.

You do realise Tory leadership elections take 3 months from start to finish?
Exactly who would stand in the interregnum between Dave quitting and a new leader being elected?
I'm not convinced. Boris is favourite in the 3 month election process but if the 1922 does a quick switch (like when the swapped IDS for Howard) we could have someone stoical like Theresa May in Downing Street by Wednesday.
The interesting bit about a GE is whether those that botd either for the first time or after not having voted for many years in the referendum will come and vote again in a GE. If they do anything could happen
And they'll still be registered to vote for a while yet.
Now we in UKIP know where they are, we will get them out

One way out is for Tory MPs to throw away leadership contest in the national interest and to choose the new leader/PM themselves.

People complaining about Cameron's passivity: he has no authority to do anything. No other interim leader would either. If you want someone to get a grip then you need a Tory coronation of a new permanent leader asap.
Personally I thought we could handle Brexit even if I wasn't in favour of it. After an initial hit on Friday, the markets appeared to agree. However a complete vacuum of leadership and any proposals for where we're going is only going to make things worse.
A conspiracist might think that was the plan. Let things stew for a while do nothing and wait for the markets to panic. then once the markets do panic, so will the public and ask for the referendum decision to be reversed.

No Deputy Leader. We have Osborne as First Secretary of State, which kinda counts.
"Vital that all nations of UK take part in negotiations for #Brexit - we can shape a new and positive future for UK in the world"
I assume that would mean some sort of involvement for the devolved assemblies? But it could also be satisfied by the involvement of MPs from each nation.

The PLP should now take its chance and lead as Progressive Labour from parliament. Let's see how the nutters on the far left like the apples of never being seen at PMQs and a decent interesting centrist representing the new party. You can have your three quidders. Parliament only recognises the leader in the commons.
What happened to the SDP, or more recently to Ukip defectors? How many held their seats at the next election?
Exactly. Plus if leavers depart Labour to the right, they will probably find it harder to retain the Leave wwc vote than a "true Labour" opponent to their left.

G' live: _ "The celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has said his faith in the British people will be “broken forever” if Boris Johnson becomes prime minister."
Maybe. Watson orchestrated Blair’s departure, then handed the leadership to Gordon Brown – this time however, there is no obvious candidate to replace Corbyn.

We should simply get on with leaving the EU. Several months of arguing about fudges won't help.

Well the clown won two elections for the London Mayor and the most earth shattering political event in recent history.
Reports say that when he puts his mind to it he is very intelligent and a hard worker - but he has to try and present a more serious frontage to the media for him, and thereby the UK, to be taken seriously.

It's the same problem though. Nothing's going to be under control until Britain works out WTF it wants to do. To do that they need the person who's going to lead the negotiations, not a caretaker.

Boo! SeanT is the only of the Brexiteers that now speaks sense.
@thomasknox: So there must be new GE? Tories offering EEA, Labour (new leader) - stay in EU but try to renegotiate Free Movement. And we choose.
Labour would be destroyed on that platform wouldn't they?
As would the Cons.
No, middle England and London will want EEA more than anything, they will want the best option for the economy.
If Labour become a protest party for the WWC they sweep the board in certain areas, but they would be a rump party nationally in that situation.
We live in interesting times.
Eh? Labour would still win plenty of seats. In fact I think it would make for a hard fought contest.
Do you think so?
Right now Tories would lose some votes - but few seats - to UKIP. I would expect them to keep most of the Tory Leave vote. They'll lose some Remain Tory votes to the LibDems, and probably a few seats, if the LibDems are organisationally able to take advantage.
Labour will either lose some or lots of votes to UKIP, take your pick. If the latter, a block of UKIP MPs emerges. If the former, the Tories win a batch of Lab-Con marginals.
Indeed some of the famous 2010 LibDems may return from Labour as well, if Labour is pushed to be "more leave" and less liberal for its wwc. If they instead go "more remain", go back to 'losing votes to UKIP' above.
SNP have nothing more to gain, Greens, zip.
Tory majority on a lower share of the vote?
Of course things change if a recession really takes bite, and/or it is widely seen that the Leavers have been betrayed. These plus the state of Labour all reasons for Boris to go GE asap

Margaret Beckett was Acting Labour Leader for a while (I thought she was better than the 'real' leaders who followed).
The Acting Leader can stand for the permanent post 3 months (or even 15 months later). If May can cope with the Home Office and the Police Federation, presumably she'd be able to deal with this challenge.

Every week unfortunately there are racist incidents. There are knuckle draggers that wear offensive t-shirts. Two weeks ago it was an idiot about Liverpool fans that was big on twitter. Britain First go around every week pushing there hate, as does Choudary.
I spent the weekend in an area an area that has one of the highest concentrations of Poles in the UK and voted heavily to leave. No problems. No reports of Poles being chased out of town etc etc etc. Just a normal weekend, complete with drunk people fighting, women crying over catching their man snogging another women etc etc etc.
This "we have all become racist" is the same nonsense peddled about anti-Muslim backlash when their is a terrorist attack. There is of course an knuckle dragger or two that the media go big on, but when they look at the figures it is never really anymore than usual i.e. every week there is a knuckle dragger who decides to call somebody something racist.
