A prime minister who nails his colours to the mast, even if he has logic, rational thinking, thousands of experts and all the arguments stacked up in his favour against those of his unscrupulous opponents has to go after a defeat like Brexit. So we have lost the conservatives’ best electoral asset, and he will almost certainly be replaced by Boris Johnson, which is of course always what was intended.
Mr Cameron will not be the last casualty of Brexit but many others will be ordinary people who will lose their jobs and services as the economy judders to a halt.
Remain voters can perhaps take a little comfort in knowing that as the huge promises are revealed to be completely overblown if not totally misleading, over the coming days, weeks and months we can only hope Boris will eventually become the most reviled politician in the land, closely followed by Michael Gove.
