The real reason UK prime minister David Cameron called it quits has been revealed..
Before
Friday’s shock Brexit referendum result, UK Prime Minister David Cameron
dismissed any suggestion he would resign — but once the Leave vote came
through he called it quits within hours.
Mr
Cameron chose to end his six years at Downing St rather than begin the
mammoth task of untangling the UK from the EU. He promised he would be
gone by the Conservative Party conference in October.
Many
speculated he would have to go because a Leave vote would have trashed
his authority, but details have emerged Mr Cameron made the dramatic
decision because he didn’t want to have to do the hard work in divorcing
his country from the EU, only to have his replacement then step in and
take control.
The Sun
reported a teary-eyed PM told his inner-circle: “Why should I do all
the hard s**t for someone else, just to hand it over to them on a
plate?”
He made
the extraordinary statement to his advisers, with wife Samantha
present, before he spoke to the country about his decision to quit.
According
to The Sun, the staff — many who had been with him since he became
Conservative leader 11 years ago and followed him to Downing St — were
in tears but were happy their boss had at least gone out “with dignity”.
