Not sure, he held what I consider a perfectly rational view of the EU, somewhat sceptical and against further political integration, but recognising that membership was a done thing and its advantages well outweighed any thought of not being a member. However, he was also a very stupid politician in taking a huge gamble in putting continued membership to a national referendum, and losing . Also too, the austerity inflicted on the country by his ministers and himself instead of dealing wth the institutions that caused the GFC in 2008 mark him down in my eyes as a politician we'd have been thankful to see the back of. Yet, compared with what we have now? Rhetorical question, no answer .....
