Members of David Cameron’s Conservative Party who are campaigning for Britain to leave the European Union insisted the prime minister wouldn’t have to resign if they won, after one of his party’s most senior figures said he’d have to quit.
Former Chancellor of the Exchequer Ken Clarke told the BBC in an interview broadcast Saturday that “the prime minister wouldn’t last 30 seconds if he lost the referendum.” In response, Cameron’s political opponents rushed to his defense on Sunday.
