If this hyper politics game is real, what was the exit plan? There was simply no way it would pass? Or Cameron wants to stay in power so bad that he'd do the dirty work that the people willed and taje the fall for whatever fallout comes?

"There was simply no way it would pass?"

Pretty much - even Farage seemed to be positioning himself for a narrow Remain win (in particular his 52%-48% comments about a second referendum).

Cameron doesn't want to stay in power, he announced he would stand down before the next election at the end of the last parliament.
