David Cameron Quotes

Brexit is a self-inflicted wound; the people of this country hold the knife, and they don't have to use it if they don't want to. The people, not the hardline Brexiteers, are in charge.

As a strong believer that Brexit is a very damaging mistake that becomes more obvious every day, I see sound democratic reasons for asking the electorate to confirm what it wants to do.

The U.K. voted for Brexit and a lot of weak-willed, lily-livered people will say 'yeah but the people did not know what they were voting for, they had no idea of what this was going to entail.' Those are the people who are saying 'lets get a second referendum, let's make the people aware this time that there is, in fact, a lot more to this.'

Actually, I never wanted an E.U. referendum, and I think those who called for it will one day wish they hadn't.

Brexit stops Britain from being Great Britain.

I campaigned for the UK to stay in the European Union but the country chose a different path.

I said a vote to leave would be a Brexit tax. I couldn't think of anything stronger than that.

I don't think Brexit is going to help people in Britain.

I'm obsessed with Brexit.

Brexit is the most complex and difficult political decision our country has had to take in mine and many other lifetimes.

We've been slagging off the E.U. for decades, and now we've gone and voted to leave. And if anyone thinks they are going to offer us some great trade deal as we walk away, they are living in la la land.

What happened with Brexit was people taking back control.

The E.U. referendum is a major watershed in U.K. history. It will be important for the future of the Conservative party. It will be even more important for the future of our country.

If there is a 'Leave' vote in England and across the U.K. as a whole, then we see the reins of power being seized by politicians who are on the right of the Conservative party.

I think that what is happening now in terms of the Brexit vote does represent a serious undermining of the Good Friday Agreement.

The 'in' campaign will attempt to scare people into believing that if the U.K. were to leave, investment and jobs would move abroad. They are as wrong about that now as they were when they warned that this would happen if we did not sign up to the Euro.

I worry about the direction of the U.K. and U.K. politics and governance in the event of a Brexit.
