Was it though? It was still a lower drop than expected. Is it not more the fact that continuously extremely high migration numbers have been reported today (and somewhat buried now) and could well have seen enough letters of no confidence go in to finish him? The fact that letters have even gone in in the last 24 hours to try and oust him and cancel the election(!), the way his own party and even the most astute political analysts have been totally blindsided by this and are pretty much universal in saying this is possibly the worst point he could have called this election for (for his party, certainly not for the country) suggests to me this is more a personal decision to leave than a genuine attempt at fighting an election.
Much like Clegg, ultimately Silicon Valley's tech companies probably will be more interested in hiring someone voted out by the public in a standard general election than ousted by rivals in an already failing government. Assuming, that is, that they see value in someone being the least worst prime minister of the worst government in British history.
He'll be gone the day after the election I think, I don't think he'll have any interest in staying till his successor takes over.
