[Churchill]

He let the UK break up and lost all the Oil, Fish and intelligent people. He's left with an Islamic state, Wales and NI.

The UK isn't breaking up. We'll still be going strong when you inbred peasants begin eating each other.

Bang on about your oil and unicorns all you like, but the point you're missing is most English people couldn't give a stuff whether it's Yes or No, we just want all these vitriolic Jocks off the telly out of Parliament .

Not me Im Scottish, I applaud him, but the English won't be too pleased.

Most English people seem happy for Scotland to make their choice.

So you're suggesting he resign for supporting the principles of democracy?

In the same way as you lot have compared Salmond to Hitler for supporting the same principles

Oh no, how will we cope without your insignificant little state?

Why would Cameron resign?

The Scottish referendum is a matter for the Scottish people. He should be lauded for letting the Picts have their day out.

Surely if Cameron goes it'll be Boris. Which will be good for entertainment if nothing else.

He'd need to be an MP first, and then get the backing of the other MPs.

Teresa May would be more likely, now that Hague is out of the running and Osborne doesn't have the support.

I reckon 'Sex God Party Animal Farage' will be next PM

It's much more difficult for them than this. Clinton and Blair used a triangulation approach because they knew elections were won in the middle. A left-wing party can move to the middle and win votes from the right-wing party without losing too many of its left-wing supporters. Cameron understood this and did the same approach from the other side by adopting liberal social policies. But UKIP presents them with a bind. Move to the right and you lose in the middle. Move to the middle and you lose on the right. In the absence of a major party to the left of Labour, Labour can (but will it?) hoover up votes in the middle.

Of course, this is not the only factor (e.g. Miliband has an image problem), but it is a factor that favours Labour.

They're already a thoroughly middle of the road party, which I suppose is your point. The other issue is that the other middle of the road'ish party, the Lib dems, has very little credibility left, particularly Nick Clegg. I do wonder how long they can rely on people supporting them just because they pay lip service to the middle, quite blatantly because they figure it'll win them votes.
