I have the feeling that as time goes on, and the impact of Brexit on the UK's economy and the Union becomes clearer and clearer, he will be viewed much more negatively than he is now.
Just like Eden is synonymous with Suez and the destruction of British hard power, Cameron will be unable to escape from the fact he opened the door to a tidal wave of shit and then quickly resigned, made millions and left the mess to others to clear up.
All he did was the inevitable, euro skepticism was growing and becoming a more and more toxic subject especially within his own party it was a problem that wasn't going to go away and needed dealing with one way or another.
I suspect he was really quite confident of winning the referendum, let it not be forgotten that he led the remain campaign as a staunch remainer.
The real villains are farage, bo jo and the right wing press for there xenophobic post brexit field of dreams campaign that was full of complete and utter lies and the 17.2 million people that believed it and voted for it.
Unfortunately as a country we voted for a referendum, then voted to leave the EU, and then gave the leader of the leave campaign a huge majority in government to 'get on with brexit'.
Cameron may have opened the door, but he then stood in front of it saying you don't want to go in there, while farage and co stood the other side of the door promising sweets and unicorns, we as an electorate bought it and didn't just tentatively take a step towards the door, we chopped Camerons head off and ram raided our way through the door to where we are now.
We as an electorate are the ones who voted for this mess, and we are the ones who will have to pay for the clean up.
