BIOGRAPHY

David Cameron is a former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He was born in Marylebone , London, England on 9th October, 1966. His father's name was Ian Donald Cameron and mother's anme was Mary Fleur. His father was stockbroker. He attended the exclusive "Heatherdown School" and "Eton College", finishing his early education in 1984. Graduating from Oxford ( Brasenose College ) in 1988, Cameron received a first class degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. While at Oxford, he was the member of the exclusive and the controversial "Bullingdon Club". Cameron's first job was with the "Conservative Research Department ", the think tank for the rightist party. He joined the group in 1988 and continued there until three years later, when he started working closely with John Major. Following the Conservatives' Electoral victory in 1992, Cameron served as a Special Advisor to the Chancellor and then the Special Advisor to the Home Secretary. Between 1994 and 2001, he served as the Director of Corporate Affairs for 'Carlton Communications', the British media company.

On June 1,1996, Cameron married Samantha Sheffield. The couple has four children. This aspiring politician entered Parliament in 2001 by winning the seat for Witney in Oxfordshire. Although he initially supported the Iraq War in 2003, he also voted in the favor of judicial inquiries into the war's prosecution. Michael Howard resigned as the party's leader after the '2005 general election'. Cameron announced his intention to stand for the post and won the position on 6 December, 2005 thus entering the Privy Council.

The 'Spectator Magazine' named his "The Politician of the Year" in 2005. As a leader of the party, he expressed strong support for the 'National Health Service' calling it one of the greatest achievements of the 20th century. Active in international politics, Cameron was crucial to the formation of the 'European Conservatives and Reformists', in 2009. In the 2010 general elections, the Conservative secured 306 seats. Although this was the highest total, it was short of majority by 20 seats. This led to a coalition government between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats.

David Cameron was formally invited to assume office as the Prime Minister of Great Britain on 11 May 2010. He is the youngest Prime Minister in almost two centuries. The overall popularity of the Conservative Party tumbled sharply in 2012 and 2013, with significant ground loss in local and council elections. This led to rumours of a vote of no confidence, but the vote never materialized. The British Parliament had never before voted a Prime Minister's call for military action. In 2014, he supported the successful Better Together campaign at the Scottish Independent referendum. He was also in the favor of the campaign to retain the status quo in a referendum on changing the voting system. The referendum resulted in s 'No' to independence majority. In 2015, the Conservative Party registered a decisive win in the general election and David Cameron was the re-elected UK Prime Minister with a majority in the Commons. He thus became the only second Prime Minister ( after Margaret Thatcher ) to be re- elected immediately after a full term with a greater number of seats to-date.

Following the results of the UK European Union membership referendum and the British public's decision to leave the European Union, Cameron announced his decision to step down as the Prime Minister in October 2016.

TERMS ARE LIKE SHREDDED WHEAT- TWO ARE WONDERFUL, BUT THREE MIGHT BE JUST TOO MANY.
