The Prime Minister says Britain requires fresh leadership to
negotiate the country’s exit from the EU.
Cameron says he will remain as PM for the next three months
to “steady the ship”. Britain is to get a
new PM by October when Cameron quits.
Flanked by his wife Samantha, Mr Cameron said, “The British
people have voted to leave the European Union and their will must be respected. “The will of the British people is an instruction that must
be delivered.”
In an emotional speech, he said: “I held nothing back, I was
absolutely clear about my belief that Britain is stronger, safer and better off
inside the European Union and I made clear the referendum was about this and
this alone – not the future of any single politician including myself.
“But the British people have made a very clear decision to
take a different path and as such I think the country requires fresh leadership
to take it in this direction. I will do everything I can as Prime Minister to steady the
ship over the coming weeks and months but I do not think it would be right for
me to try to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination.
“This is not a decision i have taken lightly but I do believe
it’s in the national interest to have a period of stability and then the new
leadership required.”
