David Cameron : the luckiest politician ever ?

[NigelFargate]

You probably missed the fact that the majority of voters actually voted to come out of the EU. Cameron will be remembered as the Prime Minister who allowed us to escape. None of the others would let us have that choice. That's not a bad legacy and hardly a stain.

 

A guy on Sky News said earlier today that the result is the biggest disaster for any Prime Minister since Chamberlain came back from Munich waving his piece of paper.

 

Some legacy.

Well if some guy on sky new said it, it must be true.

 

Chamberlain failed to avert the biggest war in history. Cameron has (somewhat unintentionally) extracted us from a failing trading bloc with delusions of grandeur. Your "guy on Sky News" is a total muppet.

I`m certain if they held a referendum rerun tomorrow (with no postal votes from [up to] weeks ago), the result would be the other way. Things are starting to come home to roost. The Exit campaign banged on and on that there wouldn`t be huge falls in sterling and shares, but there has been. I have just been listening to R5 and some of the things they were saying about the differences in travel within Europe for the British are very worrying. Then there`s what may happen with Scotland, etc etc. I kept asking myself who the hell voted to leave ? How often (if ever) do they ever travel in Europe ? Do they ever question what they`re told (e.g the infamous lie of million pounds a day) ?

Is not a fact that better educated people were more likely to vote to remain, and less well educated were more likely to vote to leave ? What do you think that tells you ?

To be fair he does have strong leadership qualities. And he's a good tactician and astute at understanding risk. He lets himself down in many other areas though.

 

Bet you wish you'd never said that! Lol:hihi:

I wonder what Cameron is thinking now.......

In my view he is responsible for unleashing this Brexit nightmare* just to give him an easier time with his party. The Brexit result had a significant impact on the US Presidential election (it was frequently quoted by Trump himself, and he even got Farage to appear with him), certainly bearing in mind it was a tight contest.

It could be argued Cameron gave us Brexit (possible dismemberment of the UK, certainly a huge political and constitutional crisis and deep divisions which will take some healing) and now Trump.

 

Good work, not.

 

* Remember, before the last election less than 15% of people even put Europe in the top three of their concerns, and UKIP less than 13% of the vote at the GE.

You should be proud to be British that the American people followed our lead.
