To be saddened by David Cameron's resignation

[ConfuciousSayWhat]

I think he was too hasty handing his notice in today

Obviously he had to go, he said he would if the referendum went the wrong way. And I must say, in his shoes I can absolutely see the sense of telling Johnson and Gove that they must deal with their own mess.

But, more importantly, I think he's right to resign because he sacrificed the future of the country for his own personal advantage. My one consolation is that he must realise that he will go down in history as the worst Prime Minister ever.

Holding a coalition together after Brown & co bankrupted the country was a tall order, which he did well but, he had to go on this one. Think Corbyn will be next.
Labour need a daring choice I think to appeal to the middle ground who abandoned them after the financial crisis. To get me back, I'd like to see a Dan Jarvis type, to get the job

Cameron was is a liar and true heir of BLiar.

Even today during his resignation speech he broke his word by

1. Resigning- he said during the campaign he would not resign if brexit
2. Not invoking Article 50 immediately on brexit, which said he would during the campaign.

I'm not sure he really had a choice. Leave with some dignity intact or be forced out, he went for the former.

I don't think he's been a good PM, but the alternatives are probably worse.

He hasn't ever been a good

He appeased the right wing of his own party to get elected by promising a referendum on the EU.
Meanwhile he ruthlessly pursued an austerity budget decried by the IMF, etc., etc., as being deleterious to economic recovery, but which made complete sense if you want to destroy the welfare state. Which he did.

The impoverished and diminished lives of so many in the UK were and are conveniently blamed on immigration.
Voila.

He's a shit from hell and I hope he dies miserably.

If you think Cameron is a liar you ain't seen nothing yet...boris lied constantly when in office as London mayor.

Oh FFS

Brown categorically did not bankrupt the country. We had a GLOBAL recession triggered by the sub-prime mortgage scandal in the US.

Tell a lie enough times and it becomes the truth, I guess.

Well it was told a lot...

He brought it on himself. I'll save my pity for the poor and the disabled and all the other people he has screwed over.

Didn't Brown raid pensions?

YABU.

I'll be glad to see the back of him.

Didn't Brown raid pensions?
Yep he did.
He also sold off much of UK's Gold on the cheap

The man who oversaw the bedroom tax, cuts to those with disabilities, who unleashed IDS, who fucked Scotland with EVEL mere minutes after the Indy Ref results came in, who fucks pigs to be part of an exclusive braying bullying club, who is beyond privileged and yet somehow believes that those who aren't similarly well-off are inherently morally weak and undeserving of a hand up in society.

Those tears were for himself and no-one else. He knows full well that if he'd been a stronger leader and stood up to the Eurosceptic elements of this party it would never have come to this.

And now we have a nation utterly divided. Scotland will go, I can only hope. Wales is fucked. Sinn Fein piping up. Boris going on about borders - and who knows if he means keeping people out or putting people out. The right given free rein. People like Farage now feel mandated.

We are all frogs beginning to be boiled. That ersatz Nazi poster was a test of our stomachs and we fucking failed.

I am angry he has handed his notice in.

What because the people didn't agree with him he just up and leaves on the hardest time Britain will face.

He will to me always be the prime minister without the backbone to support the majority of people he was elected to serve

I'm angry with him for offering a referendum in the first place. Of course he doesn't want to tidy up the mess now - I don't think any of them really want that.

I think he was right to resign - the morons got what they wanted, now they can sort out the sh*tstorm.

To be honest I can't stand any tories and one over-privileged egotistic sociopathic asshole is pretty much the same as the next.

YABU
I think he was a prick.

Who decides who takes over? Is it elected MPs, party faithful or what?

I think him handing his notice in so soon, just a couple of hours after the result has not helped. He should have spent day calming the waters not throwing fuel onto the fire. He may have backed the loosing team but on the international scene it does not look good.

Also what is Boris Johnson 's current elected office?

Imperial, there are plenty of reasons to dislike Cameron but the referendum was the will of the people. It is our democratic right to express an opinion about something so crucial to our future. Democracy is not something we should dip in and out of, if we feel it might not go the way we would choose.

But it is a PM's decision to have a referendum. If he felt the results of the referendum would be disastrous (because he understood what would happen better than many of the electorate would) then it was his responsibility to refuse it, even if that led to his own resignation.

The public couldn't make an informed choice because it was so hard to get the truth out of the politicians. Some of them didn't seem to know the answers. Others knew the answers wouldn't be popular. In my opinion.

Also what is Boris Johnson 's current elected office? He's the MP or Uxbridge and South Ruislip.

I don't like the man or his policies but I can understand why he has resigned. Why should he stay and sort the mess out? He's only going to get blamed if we get screwed in the negotiations. If Boris et al are so sure that we will get a better deal out of leaving they need to get round the table and take the responsibility.
