I am a little bit perplexed
Cameron promised an EU referendum in one of his manifestos, I see to recall him delaying it until his 2nd term unless I’m mistaken.
I think Cameron got some things wrong, a lot of hardship on disability benefits for example, and probably the biggest was the way the EU referendum was held.
To my mind, he was only doing what he promised - albeit carelessly. Or am I missing something?
It was also largely Cameron who turned a lot of us (me included) quite Euroskeptic then all of a sudden the EU was great.

Cameron promised a referendum in a cynical attempt to win voters in that election . And then once he won that election he thought that he had the support and would then breeze the Brexit vote. He totally misjudged his popularity and his government's popularity because the opposition at the time of the election was non existent and many used Brexit as a protest vote against him and his party.
