Survey ranks Cameron third-worst PM

Following his resignation, David Cameron's tenure as Prime Minister faced considerable scrutiny from political commentators and historians. A notable evaluation came from a survey conducted by the University of Leeds, which involved 82 academics specializing in post-war British history and politics. This survey ranked Cameron as the third-worst Prime Minister since 1945, placing him above only Alec Douglas-Home and Anthony Eden. The survey highlighted a consensus among respondents regarding the factors contributing to this negative assessment, with a significant 90% identifying his decision to call and subsequently lose the Brexit referendum as his most significant failure. This referendum not only led to his resignation but also triggered a profound political shift in the United Kingdom, resulting in ongoing debates about the implications of Brexit on the nation's economy, international relations, and domestic policies. Cameron's leadership style and decisions during his time in office have since been subjects of extensive analysis, reflecting on the broader impact of his policies and the political landscape he navigated.
