Former PM David Cameron to resign from British Parliament role

The former British Prime Minister announced Monday that he is to resign from his place in Parliament as a lawmaker.

David Cameron said in a statement that he would no longer be serving as the representative for the Witney constituency in Parliament.

“I don’t think it’s possible to be a proper backbench MP (Member of Parliament) as a former Prime Minister,” the Conservative politician told the press.

“Everything you do can become a distraction and a big diversion from what the Government needs to do for our country,” he said.
