I think his final months were so badly handled that he can't really still be called a good PM when it comes down to it, though. For the mostpart I think he was a decent enough PM (for a Tory
) and the worst Toriea around in his time were others (e.g. Despite his recent crowing, Osbourne was worse than Cameron and others like Gove.... Just abysmal).
However Cameron was wildly over-confident and thus unprepared when he called the Brexit referendum and the campaign (which he allowed others to take the reins of) was a complete joke. And then running to the hills without allowing time for a well considered and thought out transition to a new PM, which created a power shambles that still hasn't really been resolved... That will always be his legacy now.
Similar to how, for many, Blair was a "good PM" for 90% of his term but his legacy will (rightly) always be Iraq and the dossiers.
