Former PM Cameron 'sorry' for Brexit divisions
12
The British prime minister who called the Brexit referendum and then saw the public vote to leave the European Union said he is sorry for the divisions it has caused.
David Cameron said in an interview published on Saturday that he thinks about the consequences of the Brexit referendum "every single day" and worries "desperately" about what will happen next.
He spoke to The Times newspaper to promote his soon-to-be-published memoir. Cameron, who had supported remaining in the EU, resigned the morning after the 2016 referendum.
The 52-year-old attacked former allies Boris Johnson the current prime minister and Michael Gove, who helped spearhead the "Leave" campaign.
Cameron said they "left the truth at home" during the campaign.

In my opinion, David Cameron's downfall was his over confidence during the Brexit referendum, as he was certain that his stance to say in EU would be sucessful. No doubt, David Caeron is a very intelligent, shewed and seasoned politician - much better than Mrs May and Boris Johnson.

DC is himself the main architect of the divisions who used this card to get elected, but then lost the vote.

The idea of staying in or leaving the UU should never have been left to the result of a referendum when both the electorate as well as the parliament had such a poor understanding of what Brexit would truly mean. Much more education of the results of Brexit should have preceded such a referendum.

Before downfall come over confidence.
If you were not absolutely confident, you would not have agreed to the referendum.
No one could have forced your hand.
Then you would still have been PM today.
