Tambo....in my humble opinion, Boris is playing a very dangerous game here.
Dave has already said that he will stand down as PM sometime over the next 4 years. I have no reason to think that he will abandon that promise, even if the Referendum goes his way.
All Boris needed to have done is to wait until Dave announces his resignation, thus provoking a leadership struggle in the Tory Party. He is clearly one of the front runners for the job and will stand a very good chance of winning if he decides to stand.
But if the Referendum does not go his way, he will appear to be viewed as damaged goods.
So, its my view that he sailing extremely close to the wind here, completely unnecessarily.
I think you have it right....he is far too greedy.
