[villfarms]

Well done Brits for taking your sovereignty and destiny back well done

[paulcateiii]

hopefully other nations will follow suit

[reginachamberlain]

Congratulations England! You'll be great again and no one can tell you that you can't have an an electric tea kettle. Like the EU tried to do. You did the right thing

[iwantoutnow]

How many countries do actually have this strong democracy ? very few. UK is a great example to follow by others.

[twindentists]

What a crazy turn of events. Don't know how to feel about this !

[jcfur]

43 years UK in the EU, 43 years of selfishness. While 27 countries go further, the UK is now facing its own desintegration.

Wish we had a Prime Minister like David Cameron, he is a true leader with his pearls and pitfalls

[krispy]

I voted for Brexit and was happy.
My family voted for Bremain and were pissed off.

[dorothea]

Thanks Brits from Germany. From many Germans, not only me. Well done. You will not doom, because of your decision for freedom. We will follow. :-)

[sakusakusakuranyo]

It's probably for the best. I would have voted to leave.

[mpoiset]

One of the best resignation speeches I have ever seen. Never a big fan of Cameron, but I can say that he's class act. You can tell more about someone's character in the way that they handle losing than winning.

[dartmonke]

Congratulations to all the BRAVE BRITS! Well deserved freedom! You voted correctly & didn't allow the fear monger stop scare you off your convictions!

[ArmidasTV]

51.9 to 48.1 isn't quite a definitive decision. If someone would ask me, if I wanted a cup of tea and I would respond: "Well roughly 50% yes and 50% no with a one and a half percent leaning towards yes." He would be like: "Well what do you want then?"

[thepleblian]

So in other words, you're not leaving the union, they'll just renegotiate

[ajt]

High-class exit, Mr. Cameron. You recognised the fact that the British people had spoken their inviolable will, and even went as far as to resign for honourable reasons. I am certain you will be treated as an honourable man by future historians.

[rightwingreactionary]

Cameron exhibiting the spirit of British sportsmanship.

Respect

[sandromartin]

sadness in my hearth.. is like a brother who decide to leave the family, , , we love you.. UK

[MrTmoneyUK]

You've given up Dave. The British people deserved more at this time. "Never, ever ever ever ever give up.' - Churchill.

[bittopics]

im german and in my opinion its the best decisson britain ever wish the german people had also the possibility to vote....but in GER we only have a 3rd class democracy !! CONGRATS TO THE THE UK-PEOPLE. AT LAST YOU HAVE YOUR INDEPENDENCE BACK !!!! PARTY

[markgrayson]

i am a big admire of PM.Cameron and it will be sad to see him go. as an american i have watched PM.Cameron grow the conservative party, and open the UK to more libertarian/conservative ideas.
now i'm hoping for Daniel Hannan to run for PM i think he would do great things for the UK.
