Rebecca Coulson: That May will be a woman Prime Minister is of no significance – or shouldn’t be
I can’t accept that I’m ‘me’ because, say, I’m a woman – above and beyond all the undefinable intricacies that constitute my self.
Nadhim Zahawi: Cameron has left Britain a great legacy. Now we must take it forward
Crucially, he has enhanced the role of our state without falling into the trap of just extending it.
Iain Dale: This week’s media assault on Leadsom is astonishing – and she has done well to survive it
Plus: the downfall of Boles. This Eagle won’t fly. What to do with Gove? Cameron should become Foreign Secretary. And: Out there in the country, Blair is still popular.
Lewis Baston: Half a Government and no real Opposition – the general election of 1922
It was not entirely clear at the time that it had created a new political structure that would last for generations – with the Conservatives as the leading party of the state.
Daniel Hannan: Instead of sulking, Remainers should accept the result and work for a better future
Brow-beating didn’t work before the vote and it certainly won’t work now. All sides should be prepared to compromise.
Howard Flight: The City can flourish after Brexit – and the EEA option is the safest means of ensuring this happens
Continental Europe needs the financial services of London just as much, if not more, than London needs its financial exports to Continental Europe.
Andrew Kennedy: Feldman is going but his reforms must continue
To continue to succeed, we must restore not only mass membership but mass activism.
Iain Dale: How women could soon lead our two main parties – plus Scotland’s leading three, and a Welsh one
Plus: Leadsom comes up on the rails. Why men should never wear red trousers. And: 100 years on from the Battle of the Somme.
Syed Kamall: With self-belief and hard work, we can make the most of leaving the EU
Be under no illusion – the process will be arduous. But the new relationship the British people want and deserve is achievable.
Garvan Walshe: Will too much democracy bring the United Kingdom to an end?
Like all fundamentalisms, democratic extremism takes a noble idea too far.
Rebecca Coulson: So you think we’re arguing about Brexit? We’re not. We’ve lost the art.
Two corrosive ideas – that there is no such thing as objective truth and that strength of feeling trumps the strength of a case – are on the rise.
Nadhim Zahawi: I voted Leave. But now we must govern for the 48 per cent as well as the 52 per cent.
Cameron may soon be going, but we must ensure that his legacy is secured, our party should unite, and our work should begin again.
Iain Dale: Bigger than Thatcher’s fall. Bigger than Black Wednesday. This is most momentous domestic political event of my adult life.
It’s been very frustrating that, because of the ludicrous OfCom broadcasting regulations, I haven’t been able to declare my hand until after voting had closed.
Daniel Hannan: Today’s vote is the culmination of my adult life; but it’s not as big a deal as you might think.
If, as I hope, we vote to leave, we won’t be able simply to ignore the concerns of those who want to stay – and the same logic should apply if there is a narrow remain vote.
Ruth Davidson: Whatever the outcome, we Conservatives must come together after this bruising referendum
I hope we will Remain. But either way, the national interest would be ill-served if we abrogate our responsibilities in order to continue private feuds.
