David Cameron - snake in the grass

Cameron didn’t write the book to make money ( he doesn’t need it) he wrote it to justify his own actions, in my eyes.
His mistake was not in allowing a referendum, but getting so involved in the Remain ‘camp’ beforehand that when the result came out in favour of leaving, he resigned, not only as PM but also as the MP for his Witney constituency.After all his promises of staying to see things through!
If he had done, at least he could have eventually resigned with some dignity.

Cameron made many mistakes.

He should never have prioritised the divisions in his party over the best interests of the country.

If he decided to have a referendum there should have been a percentage threshold to protect the status quo - as there was in the first Scottish devolution referendum and is always normally the case in countries which use referenda.

If you want to change the constitution of your local golf club you would normally need a two thirds vote on a seventy five percent turnout. This brexit nonsense was only supported by 17 million out of a population of 67 million,

He is also guilty of gross complacency about the result. He should have realised that the vested interests in the Tory press, controlled by billionaire tax exiles who like to avoid tax, would campaign for leave.

Cameron is guilty of propelling our country into three and a half years of turmoil, profligate waste of taxpayers money promoting this brexit lie, and deeply entrenched division in our society.

I do not exonerated this self serving politician. Cameron must take the burden of the blame for the miserable divided Britain we have become.
