[AFP]A surge in support for his anti-establishment party helped push then-prime minister David Cameron into calling the 2016 referendum on Britain's EU membership. He now spearheads the Brexit Party under the slogan "It's time to save Brexit" and vowed Friday to lead it into the European elections with a roster of candidates if Britain agrees a longer extension to the country's departure from the bloc. He has also periodically joined a march from Sunderland to London for a mass Leave Means Leave rally later this month. [AFP]Prime minister for six years from 2010, Cameron launched a referendum on EU membership and then led the Remain campaign. He was made foreign secretary by the new leader May but his two-year stint ended when he resigned over her Brexit strategy.
