Cameron Exit

By seeing off a revolt by her own MPs, British Prime Minister Theresa May has once again proved her ability to survive a political crisis -- but in the process acknowledged her time in office is limited.

Defending his decision to hold a referendum which led to Britain's exit from the EU, former UK Prime Minister David Cameron today said there are issues that go above Parliament and not taking people's consent on vital subjects is a "potential problem".

Two months after resigning as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom over Britain's exit from the European Union (EU), David Cameron has now stepped down as MP of Witney in England. His resignation has triggered a by election in the Oxfordshire seat.

EU chief Donald Tusk told Britain's new Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday that they should work towards a "velvet divorce" as the country seeks to exit the European bloc.

Europe won't miss David Cameron, a senior EU lawmaker in Brussels said on Wednesday as the prime minister who led Britain to the exit left office and handed on the job of completing its withdrawal from the European Union.

The European Union says it will not be "paralysed" after Britons voted to leave, but Brussels policymakers say uncertainty over Britain's future is already complicating the lawmaking process for the rest of the EU.

The question of who will lead Britain into its future outside the European Union - a muddled mess for nearly a week - was further scrambled on Thursday, with the camp that had favored an exit splintering into warring tribes in a development that forced longtime former London mayor Boris Johnson from the contest.

Nominations were opening today to replace Prime Minister David Cameron as leader of the Conservative Party, with the victor getting the challenge or the poisoned chalice of negotiating Britain's exit from the European Union.

British Prime Minister David Cameron has said that he will not trigger Britain's exit talks with the European Union (EU) but leave the issue to his successor.

President Barack Obama isn't expecting "major, cataclysmic changes" as a result of Britain's pending exit from the European Union.

Britain could have a new prime minister by early September, the ruling Conservative Party said on Monday, after David Cameron started laying the groundwork for his successor to trigger the country's exit from the European Union.

It consists of just five short, vaguely worded paragraphs, but Article 50 of the European Union's 2007 Lisbon Treaty will decide how Britain leaves -- and it is already causing problems.

The European Union wants a quickie divorce, but Britain wants time to think things over.

Britain need not send a formal letter to the European Union to trigger a two-year countdown to its exit from the bloc, EU officials said, implying British Prime Minister David Cameron could start the process when he speaks at a summit on Tuesday.

Prime Minister David Cameron's decision to resign after he lost the campaign to keep Britain in the EU triggered a leadership contest in his Conservative party, the winner of which will replace him in Downing Street.
