Arch Clown Borris Johnson, Supreme Hater Of Civil Rights Theresa May, or Sleazy Overlord George Osborne? Take your pick.
Against those choices I hear myself uttering the unimaginably despicable sentence,
"I hope the next prime minister is Michael Gove"
I need to go bathe in bleach now. Brb

No chance it'll be Osbourne, he's too closely linked to Cameron. He'll either resign altogether and go back to backbench politics or he'll be given a lesser role in a prospective cabinet for the new leader if he plays nicely.
It'll be Boris or May. Gove doesn't have the personality or popularity that Boris has.
I'm also confident it'll be a Tory majority if Johnson is in charge and a snap election is called by the end of 2016.

How so? He's supposed to successfully steer the country down a path he categorically disagrees with? I think it's brave of him to admit defeat, admit he is no longer the right man to lead this country (latest vote shows population disagrees with PM) and provide the opportunity for someone else to take over and follow through on their 'promises' made during the leave campaign.

And they've f***ked themselves over in the immediate term. Anyone cashing in their pension at the moment is significantly worse off.
FTSE 100 closed 3% down, however FTSE 250 (has a larger amount of UK companies, so is usually used as a barometer to track the UK economy more) closed by 7%.
Loads of pensions are linked to the stock market via investment funds, so a decent portion of these older people will be stitching themselves up.

Sounds silly but they'll likely have increased their pension. As people near retirement or are retired, their assets tend to be allocated towards fixed income products. They've rallied out of sight.
The value of us young people's ones will have depreciated but I don't mind as all that is doing is increasing expected return if the asset allocator goes shopping and the world has some form of growth over the next 40 years.
