Why is David Cameron and the rest of the Westminster ilk carrying on as if his resignation is a jolly leaving party with champagne and cake?

I've just watched PMQs and I'm shocked they didn't bring in party hats, cake and champagne. It was something of a jovial leaving party rather than acknowledging we've been left some what up shit creek without so much as a paddle. Cameron tried to alter what his legacy will be wrt reducing the deficit, unemployment and gay marriage but we still have that small issue to deal with about Europe.

I can say that I do think in the current climate Theresa May is probably the best person for the job - in so far as the alternative would have been Andrea-'no filter'-Leadsom but Cameron shouldn't be laughing his way out of Downing street. He single-handedly caused this.

That speech yesterday was a triumph of hypocrisy. Her voting record doesn't lie.

It's like when John Smith died. Sometimes at Westminster there are people that are recognised across parties as being fundamentally decent despite political differences. I got the distinct impression that Cameron was regarded as one of those people yesterday.

But I imagine that most of Westminster is a bit more circumspect than the spittle flecked online lefties. Perhaps their memories are actually long enough to recall Jo Cox being killed and the apparent shock at the abuse faced by MPs not to have much of an appetite for a public tarring and feathering at the demand of keyboard warriors?

Or maybe they just remember as far back as last week where a former PM was accused of having the blood of hundreds and thousands on his hands so thought perhaps the left drawing attention to his perceived failings might draw some unwelcome accusations of hypocrisy and difficult comparisons between the legacies of Blair and Cameron?
