Will JC Juncker get the chop?
Discussion
It seems there is quite a lot of dissatisfaction over this individual, with people across Europe saying he is in (a large) part responsible for the UK voting to leave, and now, many in other EU states are calling for their own stay/leave referendum.
Calls for his resignation have been made, do people think he should go, and that he will go?

Perhaps now people may see how undemocratic the whole thing is. If he stays stubbornly insisting he is the right man for the job it shows the leave campaigners were right. Im not holding my breath for him to go,there seems to be a fan base internally and more likely many are scared of him.

Do Eurocrats ever resign? I can't remember ever hearing about one being caught out and stepping down before.
The UK commissioner just resigned, Lord Hill. Of course, not because he's done something wrong, but because of the result of a non-binding referendum that hasn't been acted upon. I suspect he was forced out, of course.
he is a little different because some of his own are calling for his head - however they are all cut from the same cloth (look at Tusk, look at Schäuble, look a.... you get the idea). Some may be a little more subtle or quiet about it but the over-arching message is "the Federated States of Europe, one nation under ideology. Our differences make us strong" and they have a messianic belief in this. People are indoctrinated from an early age (the Jesuits said "give me the boy and I'll give you the man - something the UE has taken to heart) that the EU is great the only thing we've not seen (YET!!) are classes so the non-believers can be 're-educated'.
I voted out to regain our democracy, and whilst I would have voted out for that reason anyway, Juncker's behaviour helped to strengthen my resolve in voting as such.
History shows us, that when people who rule over others without any accountability to those they rule over can just about do anything they like, they can and do, becaause , simply, because they can.
Juncker is a prime example of an individual with power and no accountability. Will he be turfed out? I'll be very surprised if so, to me, the Sepp Blatter analogy is bang on the nail.
