This was inevitable:

When Cameron made the comment it was assumed by everyone including the Tories that we were heading for another hung parliament and DC would be lucky to still be PM. The shock majority together with the imploding Labour party has completely changed things.
I imagine the public wouldn't hold it against him. Sure there would be some noise from Labour but that would blow over. The issue would probably be Osborne. It may trigger a Tory version of Brown vs Blair.. with Osborne angry that Cameron had gone back on his word to step down.

Im sure he will not be the last politician to do a U turn.
I don't think Cameron has any intention of staying on. All the noise on this coming from those that want him out. They're doing their level best to remind him of what he's said and make sure that he stands by his word.
If that's the worst problem the party has to face nearing 2020 they'll have done very well.
As previously mentioned the referendum, and its fallout is likely to prove far more 'interesting' for the Tories than what Cameron decides to do.
With Dave the u turn is the norm. A paper bag in a hurricane gets blown about less than him.
This ^^^^
Old Dave will be sweating like Eric Pickles in a sauna if JC is elected.
I suspect that's disappointed a few in the party who are trying to desperately spin it into something it isn't.
It doesn't sound any different from what I expected to be honest, Cameron to remain to the end of term with the war king crowned in September 2019 to lead the campaign
Seems like if he just said what folk wanted to hear then folk must have wanted him to step down.
So is it Cameron who has done a U Turn or is it the folk ?
Think theres a bit more to it than that. The Sun originally broke the story suggesting some Tory MPs feel Cameron would be better staying on. And a suggestion that it's going to come down to if Sam allows him to or not.

As if. Sam openly admits that she looks forward to day her and kids are out of Downing St bubble. Sounds very sensible to me. Sam never seems caught up in prestige of it all. This is papers stirring as per.
