It would amount to Cameron (and possibly others) saying “See that stability that was required in the national interest that I promised you and see that fixed-term-Parliament-constitutional-reform-that-would-change-the-we-do-politics that I also promised you. I lied. Please vote for me.”
I’m don’t see that landing well with the people.

is making me both extremely proud and unbearably angry.
someone very close to me was recently sexually assaulted. She knew him. he came back to 'apologise', told her his family had completely disowned him, and said she would be a terrible person if she pressed charges while his life was falling apart like this.
I want to kill him. beat him til he stops breathing, then beat him some more.
She asked my opinion. I urged her to proceed with legal action, which is very likely to happen.
the assault is bad enough. It's the mind games that just fuck you up.
