David Cameron is a [[British]] politician, born in [[Oxfordshire]] in 1966, and was elected MP for Witney in 2001 and elected leader of the British [[Conservative Party]] in December 2005, succeeding [[Michael Howard]]. He has taken the Conservative Party slightly to the left in an attempt to appeal more to young and environmentally conscious voters and capture more of the political middle ground.

Thus far he has differed from his predecessors in his stated willingness to work with the [[Labour party|Labour]] and [[Liberal]] parties and in his statement that "My aim is to promote social justice, making sure that everyone has access to good schools, good healthcare and decent housing, take a lead in ending global poverty and do all we can to meet the great environmental threats of our age'.[http://www.conservatives.com/tile.do?def=david.cameron.about.page]
