David Cameron
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and leader of the Conservative Party.
Lots of people call me Dave, my mum calls me David, my wife calls me Dave, I don't really notice what people call me.
I joined this party because I believe in freedom. We are the only party believing that if you give people freedom and responsibility, they will grow stronger and society will grow stronger.

I came into politics because I love this country, I think its best days still lie ahead and I believe deeply in public service, and I think the service our country needs right now is to face up to our really big challenges, to confront our problems, to take difficult decisions, to lead people through those difficult decisions so that together we can reach better times ahead.

I want you to come with me. We'll be tested, and challenged, but we'll never give up. We'll never turn back.

If we go for it, if we seize it, if we fight for it with every ounce of passion, vigour and energy from now until the next election, nothing and no one can stop us.
