David Cameron Quits as Britain Votes for Brexit on 23 June 2016

The long wait has finally come to an end. Britain has made its decision and it has voted to move out of the European Union after more than 22 years of membership. The results were subject to speculations till the last hour and in the end the Brexit camp won by a thin margin. While 48.1% voted in favour of Bremain (stay in the EU), it was 51.9% who voted for Brexit.

And while the markets and the citizenship status of many Europeans settled in the UK get engulfed in uncertainties, one of the major repercussions is the resignation of David Cameron.

The Prime Minister of Britain announced his resignation minutes after the leave supporters emerged victorious in the divisive referendum campaign. Just about a year after he won in the general election, a noticeably emotional Mr. Cameron, standing outside Number 10 on 24 June morning said “The will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered.”



David Cameron had vigorously campaigned in the divisive referendum on Britain’s relationship with the European Union. He had appeared at several public events throughout the country to attest that Brexit would be an act of “economic self-harm”. But the electorate used this poll to reject the status quo.

As he announced his intention to step down, Mr. Cameron highlighted the major achievements of his tenure as the Prime Minister. These included rebuilding the British economy after the financial crisis; and legalising gay marriages.


How things turn out to be from here remains to be seen. Will the citizens nationals from EU countries now need to apply for Tier 1 entrepreneurvisa when they come to UK for work? How will it affect their current work status?
