/// David Cameron embarked on the last day of campaigning ahead of Thursday’s EU referendum in cautiously optimistic mood, making a final patriotic appeal for a Remain vote: “Brits don’t quit”. ///

AOG...give Dave some credit...he, and over 16 million other people wanted to stay. The vote went against him and he has now said he will resign in a few weeks time. He has behaved entirely honourably since Friday morning, just like other failed Tory Leaders have before him.

If he hadn't have announced his retirement, you and lots of others would have been complaining long into the night.

What else do you want him to do.....sit in Parliament Square, covered in sack cloth and ashes ?

David Cameron: 'Why should I do the hard ***?'

[fiction-factory]

Would you prefer him to stay?

[Jackdaw33]

He would have earned much more respect if he had gritted his teeth and done the job he was elected to do, but no, toys out of prams time.

[mikey4444]

Jack....Dave is the Leader of the Tory Party and the parties policy was, and still is, to remain in the EU. ( as all the other Parties were, and still are, except UKIP )

So Dave did exactly as he should have done in the Referendum.

Alas, the same can't be said about Boris, as there is convincing evidence that he changed sides at the last minute, in order that he would on the opposing side to Dave. He gambled on the BREXIT side winning, and therefore putting himself firmly in line to succeed Dave. A gamble that has so far paid off.

Just like the Brexit result it's happened. Why not look forwards

[bednobs]

i think he had no choice really - he backed position that the majority didn't agree with.
Plus now he can sit back and enjoy his shadenfreude if it all goes wrong

[Gromit]

Mikey,
Time to cash in your coppers jar. £25 gets you a vote to keep Boris from becoming Prime Minister.

mikey means UKIP, the party he has spent so much breath on, ridiculing and deriding at every opportunity, spiking the guns of the luvvie left and the hollow wannabe right. With of course, the support of the great mass of working class people that he so despises and scurrilously denigrates, despite avowing his heart and mind to the left wing dahhhlings. Bless.

Now that the Conservative party is so divided following the referendum surely a unifying leader must be found.Although his name will probably be on the ballot paper I don't think Boris Johnson is the right person for the job.Therefore we are looking for someone who has not stuck their head above the parapet much and made enemies of many MP's.

"Just like the Brexit result it's happened. Why not look forwards"

looking forwards is not something dyed in the wool labour sheep do...like italian tanks they go one way and thats backwards !

You May be right.

[Jackdaw33]

The Tory Party was divided BEFORE the referendum. I bet it's not so divided today. My money's still on Boris.

[grumpy01]

How so Jackdaw?

[Jackdaw33]

They will pull together, they always do. Most of the Remainer Tories were at best half-hearted anyway.

[Gromit]

Boris is already facing a backlash. My prediction is that he will NOT be on the final 2 ballot paper. So it's

May or Gove?

My money would be on May.

[Jackdaw33]

A backlash for what?
