Top end for merely being PM is Earl, so Marquis, Marquess and Marchioness are out. That was always for people who had a much more important job, Viceroy of India.

Marquis of Gloucester old spot. or Earl Pyrex.

Lord Let Me Be Clear, this can also pass as a quick prayer before his speaking engagements.
The last former PM to be made an Earl was Macmillan. Since then the best any of them have managed is a life peerage (Wilson, Callaghan, Thatcher) whilst others have been knighted (Douglas-Home, Heath, Major).
Lord Witney is, I suspect, the best Cameron will manage and he may even just get as far as Sir David – as and when the system gets around to bestowing him anything… which since it hasn’t yet dealt with either Blair or Brown may be some way away.
And another thing. Apparently Early of Witney is noted for soft house furnishings and luxury blankets. It is an expensive place to get your bedding requirements.
Tim Worstall
It’s up to him, by convention at least. He decides what he wants and he then gets it.

“Lord Witney is, I suspect, the best Cameron will manage”
From Wiki:
Lord is used as a generic term to denote members of the peerage. Five ranks of peer exist in the United Kingdom: in descending order these are duke, marquess, earl, viscount, and baron. The appellation “Lord” is used most often by barons, who are rarely addressed by their formal and legal title of “Baron”

If he follows Maggie – a baronetcy (hereditary knighthood) and a Barony.

Fecks,
You are remarkably dismissive of someone who, even if by accident rather than design, fulfilled the wet dream of every retired colonel, disgusted of Tunbridge Wells.

Did you get the Brexit you want or not?

“Who delivered it?”
Re a referendum, Nigel Farage. He, more than anyone, forced Dave into a corner.
After that Dave did everything he possibly could (intentionally) to try and ensure that Brexit wouldn’t happen.
Do really still not get it?
“Did you get the Brexit you want or not? ”
I’ll let you know once we get it..;)

Bobrocket – referendums can go a different way than wanted.
Like the last 3 did.
Plenty of people preferred his party 18 months ago.

uk voted conservative and got some rediculus socialist government at last election. Based on some of his party’s policies I’d have thought a title would be anathema!

‘Sir Right thing to do.
God, how I hated him when he said that.
I also hope it doesn’t happen, but I hope it will (if it doesn’t) “not” happen by a democratic rejection of the deal that’s eventually on the table at BrExit time. Rather than the sky-pie deal based on 350 million every nanosecond for the NHS and all the other undeliverable majick unicorns. And we can’t reject realpolitilk dumbocracy, can we?

There was no sky-pie “deal” (£350m)?
I’m not sure I follow you, but if you are still trying to pretend to yourself (NHS / dumbocracy) that these issues convinced all the thick and stupid people to vote Out, no offence, but you are barking?
The lies were mostly on the other side, and have been for decades, that much is surely obvious?
If there had been any honest debate (ie an acknowledgement that “In” meant a continued move towards a United States of Europe, etc, etc), the Leave side would have stormed it. We all know that.
(Apart from one or two avowed supra-nationalists – ultra lefties who can’t stand the idea of the UK as a nation state) the people I know who voted in generally did not really think through the sense of a USE, they generally thought (but clearly hadn’t) they were voting for some sort of inoffensive status quo.

If the referendum result was pushed off Southend Pier, there be another one to decide left or right, then which end, then naked or with a clown suit, etc, etc.

Why don’t we have a referendum ?
> David Cameron should be given a Title
>David Cameron should be pushed off the pier at Southend
I know which one gets my vote.
Whatever his faults, Cameron isn’t Gordon Brown and he isn’t Ed Miliband.
Given how his career ended, it has to be Earl y Bath.
Lord Sidcup?
