(Reuters) – British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Friday he would not quit if Scotland voted to leave the United Kingdom in a September referendum to become an independent country.
Asked if he would resign if he presided over the break-up of the United Kingdom, Cameron said the September 18 vote would not determine his future as prime minister or Conservative leader as that would be decided at Britain’s general election next May.
“I believe, as prime minister, I did the right thing by enabling this vote to go ahead, but the vote is about whether Scotland stays in the United Kingdom or separates itself from the United Kingdom,” Cameron told BBC Radio.
