Cameron resigns

An emotional David Cameron fought back the tears Friday morning as he announced he was resigning as prime minister. Flanked by wife Samantha as he delivered an emotional statement outside Number 10, Cameron said he accepted the decision of the electorate. With a voice trembling with emotion, Cameron announced he was standing down, before adding: “I will do everything I can in future to help this great country succeed.” “I think the country requires fresh leadership. I do not think I can be the captain to take the country to its next destination.”  “The British people have voted to leave the European Union and their will must be respected,” he said. “The will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered. “This will require strong, determined and committed leadership.” Cameron said he was “very proud” to have served as the country’s prime minister and that he had “held nothing back” over the referendum campaign.
