Cameron will ride out the storm.

His skin is a thick as anyone's and there is a General next year so there might be some lame calls for his head but they will die down soon enough.

In any event all 3 main parties have had a hand in getting us to where we are, why should he or his party take all the blame?

Or, if Scotland votes no, who will win the next general election ?

Smart money is on a marginal Labour win, with a small majority. Thanks to Clegg's petulant sabotage of the Boundary Commission and Cameron's inability to deal properly with UKIP we can't get a majority Conservative government in the current climate, so could also end up with another Tory/Lib coalition or, perhaps more likely, a Labour/Lib one.

None of those outcomes fill me with joy, will kill any chance of getting out of the EU and are likely to be disastrous for UK PLC. You can forget any chances of major reforms of anything for the duration.

Which actually might not be a bad thing. A bit of stability can be good.

So, we're all pretty much f*cked then

If Cameron stood down, then there would be a party election to appoint a new party leader, who then becomes PM.

In the same way that when Thatcher stepped out of the leadership election, she stayed as PM until there was a new party leader.

But Cameron isn't going to step down before the next election, as there is no viable alternative.

Vote Boris

[Old Greg]

Cameron will step down. Some old Tory duffer in a safe seat will be kicked up to the House of Lords to cause a by-election, and they'll bring in David Starkey as new Tory leader and PM.
