History will be kinder to Harold Wilson than commentators were at the time. PMs are usually remembered for one or two 'big things' and Harold is now remembered mainly for - admirably - refusing to send British troops to Vietnam.
David Cameron, sadly, will probably be remembered for his unnecessary promise of the referendum. He'd have won the election anyway, given his fairly good record in government, the quality of the opposition and the predictable collapse of the Liberal vote.
