UK: British
Prime Minister, David Cameron on Friday morning announced his
resignation from his post after the UK voted 52 percent to 48 percent in
favor of leaving the European Union. The prime minister who backed a
''Remain'' vote, while speaking in a breaking tone in front of Downing
street
with his wife by his side, said it was “not right” for him to be
“the captain that
“steers the country” in a new direction. He said Britain required
"fresh leadership" to negotiate the country's exit from the EU and he
could continue as Prime Minister in the next three months.
He said: “I Iove this country and will do
everything I can to serve it” “the will of the British
people is an instruction that must be delivered.”
Cameron added that, he feel honoured to have served the country will do
everything he can in the future to help the country succeed."
Cameron's full speech
Good morning everyone, the country has just taken part in a giant democratic exercise, perhaps the biggest in our history.
Over 33 million people from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar have all had their say.
We should be proud of the fact that in these islands we trust the people for these big decisions.
We not only have a parliamentary democracy, but on questions about
the arrangements for how we've governed there are times when it is right
to ask the people themselves and that is what we have done.
The British people have voted to leave the European Union and their will must be respected.
I want to thank everyone who took part in the campaign on my side of
the argument, including all those who put aside party differences to
speak in what they believe was the national interest and let me
congratulate all those who took part in the Leave campaign for the
spirited and passionate case that they made.
The will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered.
It was not a decision that was taken lightly, not least because so
many things were said by so many different organisations about the
significance of this decision.
So there can be no doubt about the result.
Across the world people have been watching the choice that Britain has made.
I would reassure those markets and investors that Britain's economy
is fundamentally strong and I would also reassure Britons living in
European countries and European citizens living here there will be no
immediate changes in your circumstances.
There will be no initial change in the way our people can travel, in
the way our goods can move or the way our services can be sold.
We must now prepare for a negotiation with the European Union.
This will need to involve the full engagement of the Scottish, Welsh
and Northern Ireland governments to ensure that the interests of all
parts of our United Kingdom are protected and advanced.
But above all this will require strong, determined and committed leadership.
I'm very proud and very honoured to have been Prime Minister of this country for six years.
I believe we've made great steps, with more people in work than ever
before in our history, with reforms to welfare and education, increasing
people's life chances, building a bigger and stronger society, keeping
our promises to the poorest people in the world and enabling those who
love each other to get married whatever their sexuality, but above all
restoring Britain's economic strength.
