The only thing he did, was the let the Public decide the answer to a question that was splitting parliament & the UK in half - that's democracy for you. He personally did not like the result & he resigned.
No doubt he will soon be writing books, holding expensive after dinner speeches & making TV series about trains.....

He got away with regime change in Libya too, allowing Islamo-fascists a foothold in the country. Like Blair another war criminal who will probably never face justice.

For helping implement regime change in a sovereign country.

Yes David Cameron achieved electoral victories but he ended up by destroying himself due to his own incompetence, deviousness and lack of character. History will judge him harshly not only as a failed politician but also as a seriously flawed man. The way he crept away after the referendum result, leaving his country leaderless and wounded was a disgrace he and his family, his children and their children, will have to bear for ever. The name David Cameron will always be associated with slick, flashy sound bites, actions and rank cowardice. Not a nice legacy, but as he sails off into the sunset of his miserable life no doubt the thick feather-bedding of his tax-haven generated family fortune and the plush red-leather of the House of Lords will help to soften the blows of world opinion. But like Macbeth, in the still small hours he will forever be wringing his hands at the the scale of the tragedy he presided over and the terrible damage he did to his country.

History might yet see him as the unwitting provider of the mechanism to extract ourselves from the EU before it descends into utter chaos and tears itself apart.

In those circumstances, even though things didn't turn out as he intended, he might be seen by future generations as having done us a favour.

Yes I think this is my point, he ran off leaving the mess to others to clear up

Just like Blair over his botched wars and lies, the answer is probably not. They will both be making $$$ from their speaking fees.

He was negligent and incompetent in not setting up a plan for if there was a leave vote and also for using a scare campaign against leaving, rather than herald the postives of staying in the EU.

Cameron was utterly foolish when he promised to reduce immigration to "tens of thousands" (a quaint way of saying under 100000) when he must have known that he could never deliver. Hoist with his own petard.

Only if HIstory books regard it as a poor decision.

Only 37% voted Conservative. So while he may have won under the rules, the 'will of the British people' was not for Cameron or his hare-brained referendum nonsense.

This. ^^

Cameron was and is a walking disaster and the legal challenges prove it. Utterly irresponsible for not preparing at all for the consequences of a Leave vote. Not to mention his woeful scare campaign.

Actually, I think he did fail in due process. He absolutely should have had better legal advice on the referendum wording and also a White Paper plan in case the vote was Leave.
His incompetence has caused untold problems for the UK, not least in all these Court challenges which should be completely unnecessary.
What checks and balances do our politicians face? None really. They can just resign, put it down to a bad job and get £100K per speech to talk about it.
Things need to change.

He's probably had to change his underwear a few times because of pissing himself laughing. After all, it's only us proles that will suffer, he and his rich chums will be fine whatever.

Hopefully it catches on with the rest of his past cohorts and they run as well, however, I have some guilt towards American University debate circuit and what gets bestowed upon them.

...and the odds you wouldn't have been constantly banging on about how untenable his position was had he stayed on would be.....?

At the end of the day Cameron didn't fail us, the EU did by ignoring his warnings and sending him packing with a not so cleverly disguised pile of old donkey poo that he was left trying to sell us as a major EU concession.

I came within a whisker of voting leave myself because of that

Cameron is guilty of one crime above all others - putting his party way ahead of the nation as a whole, which is utterly unforgiveable.

Not only in the hair brained decision to hold the referendum in the first place, but refusing to take the lying Leave campaign head on for fear of blue-on-blue conflict. He sat back and let Gove and Bojo ruthlessly attack him on baseless grounds whilst the Remain campaign pulled its hair out in desperation. It's all in Craig Oliver's book.

History will judge him very harshly indeed. The people will judge a good deal sooner once they are feeling Brexit proper.

What breakdown?
