Outgoing British prime minister David Cameron admitted it had not been an “easy journey” as he left office after six years on Wednesday wishing his country “continued success” in its post-Brexit future. “Brexit doesn’t mean Brexit for Scotland because Scotland didn’t vote for Brexit”, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon reiterated Wednesday. After accepting Cameron’s resignation, Queen Elizabeth will receive May, the new Conservative leader, and task her with forming a government. Buckingham Palace said that the Queen has accepted Cameron’s resignation as prime minister. The 59-year-old will be Britain’s second female prime minister, following in the footsteps of Margaret Thatcher, her fellow Conservative with whom she has inevitably been compared.
