I do think that, whatever the outcome on Tuesday with regard to the redefinition of marriage, Cameron's career has basically been ended. He has been caught out, and the British electorate is a rather unforgiving beast. Politicians are almost expected to lie and cheat, but being caught is considered unforgivable.
Just before the last General Election, David Cameron stated that he had no plans to redefine marriage. He said it in an interview on Sky TV. The Coalition for Marriage has further details.
Mr. Cameron's word, far from being his bond, isn't worth the paper it is printed on. Just as Bishop Devine said, people will not trust him in the future.
Quite frankly, in my humble opinion, he's toast.

Mac, you do lead me into temptation.When I read your heading I immediately began to think of him being "toasted" in hell-fire....and I was divided by feeling guilty for the thought, or sorry for the devil.
Bye-Bye, Dave.
I can suggest one reason why he's toast. He is too trapped in the Islington world-view to recongise that he won over many lifelong Labour voters distressed at Blair and Brown's PC posturing (closing Catholic adiption agencies etc), but has been just as bad in turn. So, these first-time Conservative voters will think, I might as well revert to voting Labour anyway: at least they won't take out the recession on the most vulnerable.
I understand that this isn't related to your post, but getting the message out there :) please read and pass on...
ROSARY TOMORROW, 5th February, 12 am GMT, FOR THE DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE
Tomorrow (5th of February), the first bill proposing same-sex marriage is going to be heard in British Parliament. I ask you to join me, and many others, in the praying of a rosary tomorrow to ask for Our Lady's intercession in this. We are aiming to pray together at 12 am, noon (GMT) tomorrow. Pray whatever you are able to do - a decade, a Mystery, the full Rosary, even a short prayer to Our Lady -to beg for her help.
It is our hope that if Catholics pray together for this, we can gain Our Lady's intercession in this dark hour.
Please pass the message on any way you can! Email, blog, text, social media. 12 am tomorrow - a worldwide rosary for the defense of marriage.
God Bless.
Maria Kolbe
Well, we are all sad. But, when I first read the title of your post, I thought you meant some little old person in deep London found an image on a piece of toast which resembled Cameron and was going to sell it on E-Bay....he is acting like a messiah.
