Since 2004, Britain has been the destination for 1 in 5 of all inward investments into Europe. And being part of the Single Market has been key to that success.
David Cameron
Image
I'll be explaining that Britain will be leaving the European Union, but I want that process to be as constructive as possible. And I hope the outcome can be as constructive as possible because of course while we're leaving the European Union, we mustn't be turning our backs on Europe.
David Cameron

People feel that the EU is heading in a direction that they never signed up to. They resent the interference in our national life by what they see as unnecessary rules and regulation. And they wonder what the point of it all is. Put simply, many ask 'why can't we just have what we voted to join - a common market?'
David Cameron

If we are going to try to get across to the poorest people in the world that we care about their plight and we want them to join one world with the rest of us, we have got to make promises and keep promises.
David Cameron
Image
The legacy of Mandela is to have brought the country together... South Africa can be one of the success stories of the 21st century.
David Cameron
Image
The world economy is more stable than for a generation ... Our hugely sophisticated financial markets match funds with ideas better than ever before.
David Cameron
Image
Conservatives believe in the ties that bind us. Society is stronger when we make vows to each other and we support each other. I don't support gay marriage in spite of being a conservative. I support gay marriage because I am a conservative.
David Cameron
Image
The biggest danger to the European Union comes not from those who advocate change, but from those who denounce new thinking as heresy. In its long history, Europe has experience [with] heretics who turned out to have a point.
David Cameron

My question right now would be to Colonel Gaddafi, which is: 'What on earth do you think you are doing? Stop it.'
David Cameron
Image
Because I'm a democrat! The will of the people is sovereign.
David Cameron
Image
There are three things about Barack that really stand out for me: strength, moral authority, and wisdom. ... He has pressed the reset button on the moral authority of the entire free world.
David Cameron
Image
I think it true that, you know, sometimes things start to change even before a government changes and, actually, I think you can begin to see even the Labour machine beginning to understand that it has become over-reliant on targets and processes, that local governments have been over-bossed and bullied.
David Cameron
Image
I like democracy. I like to be able to throw out my political leaders when they get things wrong, and we don't get to do that with Brussels.
David Cameron
Image
From Caesar's legions to the Napoleonic wars. From the Reformation, the Enlightenment and the industrial revolution to the defeat of nazism. We have helped to write European history, and Europe has helped write ours.
David Cameron
Image
Some members, like Britain and France, are ready, willing and able to take action in Libya or Mali. Others are uncomfortable with the use of military force. Let's welcome that diversity, instead of trying to snuff it out.
David Cameron
Image
It's time to place the market within a moral framework - even if that means standing up to companies who make life harder for parents and families.
David Cameron
Image
I am not a British isolationist. I don't just want a better deal for Britain. I want a better deal for Europe too.
David Cameron
Image
All those countries who keep their aid promises should be proud of what they've done
David Cameron
Image
I think we need to just be very clear about what we're trying to do in Afghanistan. Frankly, we're not trying to create the perfect democracy. We're never going to create some ideal society. We are simply there for our own national security.
David Cameron
Image
We need to have a bigger and more significant role for national parliaments. There is not, in my view, a single European demos.
David Cameron
