Clearly, Cameron made no provision for a successful leave vote. It obviously never occurred to him he could misjudge the majority public feeling. He also said he would stay on if the vote was for leave, he went off and sulked instead.
Now Teresa May is changing his policies and no one seems to be giving him a second thought, more sulking.
I would have thought better of him had he as Prime Minister the leader of the country stayed neutral in the referedum and made some kind of provision for a leave vote then stayed on to see the departure through .
Having left his office after the successful leave vote he could have been a man and stayed on in his job representing his constituents a job he is paid to do and he could have done that without getting in Teresa May's hair.
Cameron comes across to me as a spoilt little boy who didn't get his own way.
As a public schoolboy he should have learnt you 'play up and play the game' and you don't snivel about it .

After all, it isn't only online forums that have their fair share of sulkers and flouncers and tantrum takers.

But Labour's Angela Eagle declined to add her voice to the tributes, telling the BBC Mr Cameron had "put his whole country at risk to settle a debate in his own party" through the EU referendum.
"He has now walked away leaving others to clear up the mess."
Hear Hear Angela.
Hear Hear!
P.S. personally I don't think we are in a mess regarding Brexit, and resigning is the best thing he could have done for the country after his pathetic campaign to remain in the EU .

Far better to have someone else.

I wouldn't give him any credit at all for promising a referendum on the EU. The only reason we had a referendum was because of his usual bad judgement when he felt he was being forced into a corner due to the success of UKIP and it's ever upward numbers of (according to him) "fruitcake, looney, racist followers. He was advised by many not to allow a referendum, including even his hero, Tony Blair's henchman, one Alistair Campbell. Luckily for us that voted to leave, he ignored all advice.
So, because of his bad judgement, it came to be...............and we all know what happened there don't we? He got the biggest bloody nose he has probably ever had in his life, all thanks to his sheer arrogance in his elitist belief that the people of Great Britain were so in love with him they would be gullible enough to believe the hype that was daily churned out of the Government machine during the referendum campaign.
David Cameron is no loss. He started off well, but as is the norm with him, when the time came for him to act as a Leader of this great country and fight our corner, he instead turned into a coward and let Juncker walk all over him.
He was doomed the moment he caught the train home!
So, with David Cameron, the man that came back with his tail between his legs, promptly resigned as Prime Minister when he lost to Brexit and now he has failed his own constituents by refusing to stay on as a back bench MP and forcing a by-election.
As I said,
Good riddance.
Let us now hope that Mrs May is an improvement and doesn't turn into a Mrs Might!
