About David Cameron
The Conservative Prime Minister from 2010 to 2016. Cameron modernized the Conservative Party and formed a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats. He legalized same sex marriage in Britain. To settle internal party divisions, Cameron promised an EU referendum. He campaigned for Remain but Brexit won, destroying his premiership. Cameron resigned the morning after the referendum. He had served as an adviser to Norman Lamont during Black Wednesday. Cameron later became Foreign Secretary under Rishi Sunak in 2023, an unusual return to government. His legacy is defined by Brexit, which he accidentally triggered.
