The EU referendum was advisory and the people gave you their advice. We told you that on this matter we were split down the middle: 48%-52% (35%-37%-28% if you include non-voters). That proper response to a balanced vote is not to comply entirely with the side that is ahead by a few percentage points. The proper response is to compromise. This is not a new idea. in 2010 we had an indecisive general election result and a compromise was reached. Rather than assuming that the referendum result means a country irreconcilably divided into two camps, a more sensible interpretation would be that changes to our relationship with the EU could be sufficient to produce a substantial consensus across the nation as a whole. Politicians should not try to wash their hands of this difficult process, under the pretence of carrying out the public's will.

Their duty to the their Constituent's and the Country must come before holidaying. We need to have very clear and immediate action to come up with solutions to the massive upheaval's we are now faced with. It's pretty clear now that there was no strategy in place for the UK's leaving the EU. They should now be made to Sit untill this is resolved. After all there was not going to be any House business that had to be dealt with till after the Holidays. Also I should like to know how in these days of enforced austerity the Bank of England is able to offer the Banks £250 Billion to see them through any upheaval,when they were the root cause of the Global Economy almost being destroyed, and causing Europe to Force austerity upon us, along with the collusion of OUR Parliament. We're out of the EU and need to adapt for our new circumstances to the best of all our abillities now, not after the Summer Holiday Recess.

MEP Hannan has been one of the most vocal adversaries of the continuing participation of the United Kingdom in the European Union. He has claimed that he has no wish or need to remain as MEP. Yet days pass and he has not given any statement as to how he intends to follow through and make his intentions effective. Now that, at his request, the British public have voted him out of a job, it is important that he actually leaves his job. The ability of British politicians to follow through and act on their stated intentions is indispensable at this time of crisis. On it depends the credibility of our representatives among the public and on the international stage.

The EU referendum campaign and result has revealed a huge, almost unbridgeable, gulf between the concerns of the majority in this country and the MPs who are supposed to represent those views in parliament. This is a crisis of representative democracy that can be wholly attributed to the failure of our unwritten constitution and electoral systems. We need a new constitutional settlement for the people of the UK but it needs to be drawn up, not by the UK government and its civil servants in London, but by representatives who are closer to the people: our local authority councillors.

For too long, we have been a passively friendly society, saying to our UK friends: as long as the UK stays in the EU, we won't leave you. It's often meant we have stood neutral between different values. And that's helped foster a narrative of right-wing extremism and grievance. This Petition will conclusively turn the page on this failed approach. It appears that our friends are in dire need of our help and as a friendly, cultural nation that benefits from all sorts of nationalities from across the world. We need to send a message that we will not allow those unwillingly forced into making their lives more miserable then it already is for them. We hope that the likes of David Cameran understands that this referendum has already caused instability across not only the entire UK but Europe as well. Thanks to this Referendum and the result. It has screwed over many people in not only Scotland but those living in the UK which is all thanks to far-right british nationalism and the propaganda that came with it. We believe a message needs to be sent for those who need help and not let them dead on track to major politcal clashes that will cause bubbles to burst. This pig beared referendum has cause enough damage and we would like to see our future not as a hateful and spiteful independent Scotland but a country that cares about the future of generations to come for all those who live here, including the Welsh. Thank you. - Extremezero the friendly Scottish misanthrope. P.S. There is a hidden message in the description for those who want to cheer up.

This is important because the future of the UK should be decided mainly by the younger generation and NOT the older generation who properly won't see the impact that they have put on the UK for leaving the EU!

As British and most of all being human, we have no room in our society for racism, it is a backward policy. We have hope that entry of a racist party into Downing Street is not possible, as the electorate is now becoming more cautious. However the result of the 23rd gives us cause to act. We need to protect this country for the greater good.

There are thousands of British people working and living in the EU. As a result of this referendum, they may be forced to leave and return to Britain where they have no home, community or security.

London and Scotland share common strong cultural values, such as being British but wanting to remain in the EU. We believe we could greatly benefit the country of Scotland with our strong multicultural vibrant economy. Please will you have us.

The 'great British democracy' which you have campaigned so passionately for in recent months needs changing. An Oxford educated man will understand that the current first past the post system is failing. For to long have we had to live with an outdated electoral system which leaves millions of us unrepresented. In the 2015 general election 5.1 million people voted for UKIP and Green and each received only 1 seat. Whereas the Lib Dems received 2.4m votes and won 8 seats! I speak as someone who has been unrepresented in parliament ever since I came of age, I voted in the last electoral reform referendum which was a mere humor exercise as the vote amounted to no real change. If you are gong to 'bring democracy back', bring a representative one. P.S. if you have time also reform the House of Lords - your campaign made a point of highlighting the unelected European Commission yet you seem to forget your friends, the appointed 'Lords'.

This is important because the government should be chosen by those who will be ruled by it.

Dear All... I am not Cameron's greatest fan. He has however, just led us through one of the most profound exercises in democracy in recent British history. And considering he has been through his own baptism of fire, he has done this with a good degree of elegance. The outcome is not what Cameron, or 48% of those who voted, wanted. But he has not made "a mistake". He has not acted unethically. He will surely have learnt much from the past few months. Like a captain who has steered his ship through unchartered waters, he has brought it through, if not where he hoped. So why, why, with this experience which will have strengthened him, given him a calibre rarely acquired by most, would he step down? It is my belief that stepping down, while seemingly an act of integrity and high mindedness, is in fact deeply misguided. We are now going to be subject to the election of a leader who will represent 150,000 votes. This, while not being a reason for Cameron to retract, is already untenable. Cameron's resignation is adding a complete double whammy to the roller coaster ride ahead of us. The last thing we need is a largely unvoted for leader. What we do need is a leader who despite this act of democracy having an outcome other from his hoped for outcome, still has the strength to carry the country through. To me what Cameron is doing is akin to that crazy habit of troops leaving a war zone just because one side has won or lost. It exacerbates the resulting impact. I would like to write a letter to Cameron to request that if enough of us vote for his remaining throughout his term, that he heavily considers the "will of the people". Please let me know what you think. My letter to David Cameron, which I am happy to have revised, is below. (I shall await for potatoes being thrown my way!) "Dear David, You have just facilitated one of the most profound acts of democracy in recent British history. You have done this with strength, and for the most part, a great deal of integrity, and elegance. It is my belief that as the current leader of this country, or captain of a ship, to use one of your euphenisms, you have been through your own baptism of fire that will have provided a strength and experience rarely acquired. I have never understood the policy of resigning because a result is different from the original intention. It is not failure. It is simply a different outcome. As such, I believe your act of resignation, though seemingly high minded, is deeply misguided. It is now, that we need you, above all, to continue what you began. We do not need the double whammy of an unelected leader, (save for 150,000 votes), that does not represent "the will of the people". This is akin to troops being instructed to leave a war zone when one side has won or lost, and we well know the catastrophe that that leaves in its wake. The "right thing to do," now, is to stand strong, as you have done, and stay in place till the end of your term. What the country needs at this point is continuity and stability, and the person who conducted this entire referendum, who has gained massive strength from it, has to be the one who remains at the helm. To do this will take you into the realm of statesmanship. I vote that should "the will of the people" opt for your remaining, till the end of this term, that you do so. Respectfully, Jill Bonney,
