I think history will not be kind to Mr Cameron.
The speed with which his cabinet and his policies were dismantled proves how utterly useless both were, and they do not leave anything of a meaningful political legacy.
The consensus is that he has been shattered by the instant loss of power - and some including me would regard that as hubris.
Cameron offered a referendum smug in the knowledge that the UK voters would follow him, and the singularly smacked his sorry backside.
At least the media will be spared the tedious task of trying to make Samantha Cameron (Sam Cam? O please!!!) either interesting or attractive, when she is really neither.

The Mail in particular, has run a ceaseless campaign of commenting on Mrs Cameron's 'wonderful' dress sense, and simpering over her 'attractiveness' to the point where one journalist offered the notion that people talk about her being 'attractive' because we think we ought to.
Hopefully, as a non-politician;s wife, she will be spared the on-line garbage of commenting on her 'endless legs' and 'on-show cleavage' - so every cloud and all that ...

Not sure why Cameron is being referred to as having a "downfall"
I don't recall Mrs T having a "downfall" when she lost the Party Leadership, or Major having one when he lost to Blair.
Cameron led his Party and managed to win 2 elections. While I disagree with most of his policies, he hardly had a downfall. And don't forget that 16,141,241 people voted with Dave, and substantial amounts of Tory MPs did as well, as did MPs of all other Parties did.
Give the man some credit here !

I think it was a downfall mikey.
He got away with one referendum gamble, two was too much.
He'll be rememberered as the PM who backed himself into a hopeless corner over Europe. The consequences of that disastrous tactic may not fully be appreciated for years.
And to top it all, it looks like his Etonian clan has been purged by Theresa Death-Mask, Maidenhead Tories' Watt Tyler, and seen his policies largely systematically dismantled - prison reform, free schools, etc etc
It hardly gets any more humiliating than that.

Ichkeria....Staying in the EU was Tory Party policy, as it was the policy of most other political Partys.
So how could Cameron have campaigned for anything else ? The current Tory PM, Mrs May also campaigned for the same cause, as did most other Tory MPs.
I would have had less respect for him if he gone against his better judgement, and the polices of his own Party, by campaigning to leave.

479 MPs voted to remain, against 158 to leave. Its clear that Cameron wasn't the only one that wanted to stay. We haven't had an Election since June 23rd, so we must assume that all the MPs broadly still think the way they did on June 22nd....ie the vast majority still don't want to leave.
