It's Cameron. Gambled the entire country to try to save his own skin and lost. Selfishness personified.

The competition is competitive, but really Cameron has to take the accolade. A vacuous PR man who stood for nothing other than office. A weak, vision-free, snake oil salesman who ushered in austerity and bequeathed us Brexit and the current calamitous government.

Despite that he has been able to avoid any repsonsiblilty and sail off into the sunset with a massive pile of cash ensuring that none of this chaos will ever affect him or his ability to buy ridiculously expensive sheds. An utter disgrace of man and history will remember him as such.

There have probably been some shockers over the years but in my adult lifetime it has to be David Cameron.

Antony Eden is usually thought to be the worst but he was (thankfully) before my time.

Currently Mrs May, and about to have the tag forever when she suffers the biggest defeat ever in Parliament later today.
She just reminds me of someone at work who has been promoted to a position above their ability, and is not prepared to ask for assistance to help them along, leaving everyone else to pick the pieces and correct the errors once they have moved on

At last, the answer the OP was obviously fishing for.

Eden used to regularly get the wooden spoon when this was discussed.

Cameron will get a wooden spoon smeared in shit.

Cameron ahead of Chamberlain as Chamberlain didn't have much of a choice, and at least stayed to help sort it out. Cameron couldn't get out quick enough once he'd realised he'd screwed up.

Disagree. Tough old bird who was faced with an impossible task. When you've got both Brexiteers and Remainers raging against you, plus both ends of the ****ing Irish border, then you're on a hiding to nothing, no chance whatsoever of reaching any kind of consensus. Tho IMHO she's had a pretty decent stab at it. All these vile political pygmies know exactly what they don't want. Beyond that, they're floundering.
