It's been a tumultuous day in the history of the United Kingdom. With campaigners celebrating the decision to leave the European Union, which they immediately declared "Independence Day", David Cameron announced he would resign, saying he couldn't be the "captain" who would guide the country on its new course. Boris Johnson immediately sought to reassure the country, saying it would continue to be a "great European power."
