David William Donald Cameron, born October 9, 1966, in London, served as Conservative Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from May 2010 to July 2016, first leading a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats and then a Conservative majority government from 2015. His governments pursued an austerity program of spending cuts following the financial crisis, and he called and narrowly won the 2014 Scottish independence referendum. He called the June 2016 referendum on European Union membership, which voters narrowly decided in favor of leaving, and resigned as prime minister the day after the result was announced.
