But the best Cameron can hope for now is to stagger on as a lame-duck leader, perhaps for years, a la Blair post-Iraq.

The trouble with that is, Blair won the next election in 2005 after conning his compliant colleagues in the Lab-Con coalition to go to war illegally in 2002. (With full backing by Murdoch of course, both for the war and the election.)

No justice in this world it seems...
