He gave a referendum to stop ukip at the last GE and to keep elements in his party quiet and he never thought a leave vote would win. He is still the prime minister in title and doing bugger all to help except staying in the position stopping anyone coming in and sorting things out.

He promised a referendum because his party forced him into it. Maybe he shouldn't have called it but we would likely have had a referendum on the EU at some point because the discussion went on for years before that.
Cameron is only staying in the position until a new leader is found. He can't just resign and hand over to no-one. He is also right not to invoke article 50 until we have an idea of what we want Brexit to look like, something Leave don't seem to have an idea on, so the new leader will have a range of options presented to them by the task force Cameron has set up today and then it's up to them to choose and negotiate it.
It wouldn't make sense for the PM to be in charge of implementing a process he was strongly against. He can only do the prep work. They're also talking with Ireland in the coming weeks to ensure freedom of movement between Ireland and the UK.
Cameron has certainly messed up but it's cost him his position as Prime Minster.
Where is the anger at Boris who has campaigning for all of this and didn't even turn up to the common today? Boris and Gove who are doing nothing other than preparing for a leadership run.
