Brexit vote: What just happened and what comes next?

There is a no confidence vote in works which, if successful, will dissolve the government and force another general election.

    People complaining that the EU isn't "democratic enough" always conveniently demarcate democracy at a level which would happen to produce the result they prefer. Imagine that. Democracy doesn't mean your preferences are always reflected in policy at all levels.
