David William Donald Cameron was born October 9, 1966 and he became the youngest british Prime minister in almost 200 years. After graduating college, David Cameron worked for a consecutive Party’s research. He remained with this job for five years. In 1991 Cameron began briefing then-prime Minister John Major, with the following year being promoted to special adviser to the Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont. In 1994, Cameron had left politics to work at a cooperation of at Carlton Communications, which was a British Media Company. In 2001 he had resigned from that job to continue his journey to win the Parliamentary seat, which he won, representing the Oxfordshire town of Witney. After the 2005 elections, David Cameron was declared the leader of the Conservative Party. This victory was caused by a vow he had made to inspire a new generation. He wanted people to “feel good about being Conservatives again.”. Cameron had decided to run for Prime Minister after the previous Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, had resigned. Cameron had won the job of Prime Minister. At the time Cameron became the prime minister, he was 43 years old, and he had become the youngest Prime Minister since 1812. One of the first actions Cameron had made was making a pact with Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg. This was a move that had resulted in the first coalition government since World War Two.

Cameron had commented with this move by saying “I believe it is the right way to provide this country with the strong, the stable, the good and the decent government that I think we need so badly.”. Three years before the coalition government, Cameron had hired Andy Coulson, who had been a former editor of the tabloid ‘News of the World. He had hired Coulson to be his director of communications. While the phone hacking scandal was building, Coulson had proved to be an early casualty in 2011. The result of this exposed a bunch of elite politicians, press and police. In December of 2012, Cameron had proposed to make treaty changes in the European Union. This won him popular support, but is deeply irritated Liberal Democrat leader Clegg. Cameron had made the decision, in this change, to securing concessions on, and exemption from the EU financial markets regulation as the price of his assent to the German-led euro salvation blueprint. Other countries had balked, with France being the most vocal. France had accused Cameron of putting Britain’s perceived interests ahead of resolving the EU’s worst crisis. Cameron had eventually failed to gain the concessions, and Britain had also forfeited its place at the table where Europe’s future and the new euro regime will be determined. For the first time since Britain had joined the European Community in 1973, a treaty that goes the the heart of how the EU works will be made without having a British Signature. As of now, David Cameron still serves as Prime Minister and is currently on his second term.
