So: what will Cameron's Legacy Be?

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but apart from all the other things about him which put me off him,I don't think he's all that bright. He had been coached in a very effective style of public speaking which masked this.
This led him to commit to the referendum, showing complete lack of foresight of possible consequences.

I think Cameron's legacy should be as the PM who destroyed the NHS.

He said it would be safe in his nands, then brought in the most top-down reorganisation in history.
Here is another reorganisation in the form of Sustainability and Transformation Plans.

The idea behind them is
“to facilitate independent sector providers to form NHS partnerships.”
in other words, to allow private healthcare companies to take over the NHS.
There are two petitions to stop this happening, but they will not work. However, it's worth signing them to show how much opposition there is to the privatisation of the NHS.

I think you've summed up both the man and his legacy perfectly gettingonabit.

It would be nice if this was Cameron's legacy.

Anniebach good on you but I'm not English

I'm still giggling at P100 thinking rosesarered is Blairite! ?

David Cameron will go down in history as an irresponsible gambler who thought he could use referendums to his and his party's advantage without any care for the consequenses for our country.

The AV referendum was a con. This country needs to replace the ludicrously undemocratic first past the post system with proportional representation. As part of the coalition agreement a referendum was promised but instead of being offered PR we were offered AV which nobody believed in and Cameron (after assuring Nick Clegg he would remain neutral) actively campaign against. He won that one and so-

Next we had the Scottish Independence referendum. This was a very serious constitutional issue and should never have been allowed to rest on a simple majority of the turnout on a single day. There should have been a minimum requirement for a two-thirds majority on a 75% turnout (as would be required to change the constitution of your local gardening society). On top of that he allowed the SNP to chose the question so that they had the advantage of "Yes". The question should have been should Scotland remain in the UK? The timing of the vote also gave the advantage to the separatists - Bannockburn anniversary, Glasgow Commonwealth Games (when athletes have a saltire on their vest not a union jack). Of course Cameron wanted to bend over backwards to help the SNP as they could damage the Labour party. He narrowly scraped through that referendum but at the expense of damaging so many relationships, including creating divisions in many British families.He should have learned from that near-miss.

But no, his final folly was to risk the future of the United Kingdom on the utterly foolhardy EU referendum. He obviously thought he could easily win but in the end was defeated by an unholy alliance of right wing extremists and poor disadvantaged people who wanted to protest against Cameron and his awful regime (not the EU) and were persuaded by the right wing press that they would be much better off by "taking back control" (subtext it's all the fault of immigrants)

We have had some pretty disgraceful politicians in our lifetimes but David Cameron has been the most reckless and destructive of them all.

Sorry, truly!!!

This is going to my head ab!!!!! It is without any doubt truely what I think and believe, so let's hope Parliament100 doesn't need further explanation!!

Stand by niggly ready ? I agree ?

There is no such thing as an English parliament. The Parliament in London is made up of the four countries that collectively make up the UK. All four countries despite having different needs are as important as each other, and in fact can and do enhance each other. The fact of having devolved assembly/parliament recognises these differences and the fact that people with an understanding of particular matters need to be able to discuss and decide for themselves the best way forward, not just be told by a faraway government that has little or no knowledge of another country's issues. Not to believe in and respect the devolution of Wales Scotland and Northern Ireland is not to believe in democracy.

True Elegran, and it seems the English are too blame for all the ills in the UK

You'd think that after all this time, everyone would know that when you say "England" you mean the bit of land that doesn't include Wales, Scotland, or Ireland, just the land from the Channel to the Cheviots, and from the North Sea to the rivers Severn and Dee, and the inhabitants of that stretch of land.

So true Anya. Hope you noticed I am defending the English

Then why Parliment do you refer to the English ? the other three countries do vote too

rosesarered, you come across as a Blairite, are you ?

Anniebach, yes and I believe in the UK. I do not believe in devolution.

There's none so deaf as those that won't hear.

P100 I'm left wing, not right wing!

Anyway, I don't think there's many more of one than the other on here.

Some people don't listen AB

Would someone please explain to Parliment100 the UK is four countries not one , I have tried several times

Wilma yes...... Has team Corbyn been up to it's tricks and parachuted infiltrators into our threads? ?

Sorry, Wilma, should have acknowledged it was you.

I am confused now. maddyone said in one post that she has joined GN and found it to be a club for ageing socialists, then in another thread she agreed with durhamjen that there are too many right-wingers. Are these right-wing socialists, then? Or are there just too many pontificators in the club, from right or from left?

Someone thought there seem to be a lot of new left-wing posters. Have they followed p100 from another forum site?

I'm not, ashamed to be a right winger!!!
