It also resulted in something he didn't want to happen. Actually two things.
He saw it as a way to reinforce his politics and his career and he lost both in the gamble.
He retired and he didn't get the reassurance that he got elected to keep Britain in the EU.
He promised a vote expecting a remain result, got elected based on that promise and then it completely backfired. You could almost say he got trolled by the voters.
I personally don't blame him in the aggressive sense though, no need to kick a man who is already down and mistakes are human. His response to step down was at least consistent IMO.
