APOLOGISE, and press F to pay respects on his final day in office. Good Prime Minister tbqh.
He's like Bush senior.
In a few years, nobody will remember he was in charge at all.
>actually fucked a pig on a dare
absolute madman

Delete this.
I appreciate that he cut spending and headed off an EU-style debt crisis. it's very impressive for a government to actually see a problem coming and take measures to prevent it. more often, governments deny that anything is wrong, pander and pork-barrel, and do nothing until a problem is a disaster.
but why did he want to stay so bad? his administration is the very evidence that the UK is fiscally better than the EU
>>80825021
banta
>>80824926
He has made a hash of our armed forces though.
But he's been pretty steady, and I suppose that's all you can ask of a leader sometimes.
>>80825021
This was for the princess you moron.
>>80824926
Tell me who the new chick is. Should I be mad or what?
>>80825307
>but why did he want to stay so bad?
Because this is now the one thing that will define his leadership, most people in positions of authority and power, in the UK and europe, think it's a bad thing, and hence it's destroyed his influence and esteem among them, which is bad on a personal level for himself and his family.

Policy wise she'll be a carbon copy of Cameron who was a carbon copy of Blair. Centre right politics is all that is capable of winning in this country in the 21st century it seems.
David Cameron might have been remembered as one of Britains greatest Prime Ministers.
He's seen a return to stability from the GFC, was able to unite various factions within the conservative party, oversaw the defeat of the Scottish Independence referendum, was able to move towards a more rationalist economic structure while keeping the left happy and more
But despite over 2 terms of strong rule, there's nothing to remember him by. No big projects, no successful wars. All he needed was one big, successful idea and that would have cemented his place as one of the top five prime ministers.
Now he'll slip into obscurity- and if he doesn't he'll be remembered as the one who began the process of the UK leaving the EU... something he campaigned against.
It's almost tragic
>>80824926
I'll miss him a lot. When I voted for the first time It was because of Dave, the reason why i'm a conservative is because of him.
I voted for him twice and would vote for him again.
It's very rare to find a politician these days who you don't have to compromise your beliefs in order to vote for them.
He was a Classical Liberal, and is my second favourite leader.
>good PM
>left like a pussy clart in the country's time of need
What's ya flavour?
Objectively speaking he was shit, but Theresa May will make him look like the greatest leader Britain's ever had in comparison.
>>80827181
>So principled he was unwilling to steer a country into the direction he campaigned against
How is this a bad thing?
If he stayed in charge, people would have said he was going to sabotage Brexit. He said we needed a leader who could better unite the party than him.
His stepping down as PM was a moment of great humbleness and the mark of a true leader
>>80824926
>Won the Scottish Referendum
This is a questionable victory. I would like Labour to have lost seats they're never going to get again. Also, Scotland contributes nothing to your economy except oil, which is now less than worthless.
>>80827392
Labor weren't getting those seats, it was the SNP
>>80827321
Uh, no. Brexit even getting a referendum was his fault. His stepping down was political Sudoku so the interests he served don't make him commit Sudoku for real.
>>80826571
>David Cameron might have been remembered as one of Britains greatest Prime Ministers.
If that's true, that shows what shit PMs you've had since Thatcher, which goes without saying.
He wasn't really half the man Blair was, (in reviving his party), but Cameron never did anything a tenth as awful as the Iraq war
>>80827449
I was aware of that, but it was still Labour seats before the SNP took over and still probably necessary for a coalition if they ever want to get into government.
But perhaps the SNP is effective at convincing people never to vote labour in fear of a SNP-Labour coalition.

>Because this is now the one thing that will define his leadership
Good answer. It's terrible to see leaders putting their own egos ahead of the interests of the nation, but I guess there is no other explanation for his behaviour.
>>80827457
Do you really believe that? I think he just said enough was enough, so he was taking his ball and going him.
>>80827677
How is it really in the interest of the nation that he shouldn't leave?
It would have been interesting to see him finish his time as PM on his own terms, we never get a Prime Minister who can say The End because they are usually vote out.
Also what will happen about Scottish devolution
>>80827616
He (along with Teresa May) also banned many Muslim extremist groups.
He cut Foreign aid to 16 undeserving countries.
Abolished Labours ID card scheme.
One other thing I liked about him was in the run up to the Royal Wedding. Local councils didn't want street parties because of 'Health and Safety' fears.
Cameron told us . .. . If you want a street party - go and have one!
>>80827294
>he fell for the identity politics meme
This isn't America, the conservatives got elected on a centre right platform that united a previously broken party, and that'll be what May does, the exact same shit Cameron did.

Is that a fucking joke, or did Thatcher personally have your family executed?
