The British prime minister who called the 2016 Brexit referendum and then saw the public vote to leave the European Union, creating the nation's prolonged political crisis, says he is sorry for the divisions it has caused.
It is the closest the 52-year-old Cameron has come to a public apology for setting in motion events that led to the abrupt end of his premiership the next month and brought Britain into an unending political crisis. He admitted that many people blame him for the Brexit divisions that have deepened since the referendum and will never forgive him, but he defended his decision to call the vote.
His successor — Theresa May — wrestled with all the issues that leaving the EU entails and was not able to win parliamentary backing for a divorce plan that she agreed upon with EU leaders. She resigned, bringing fellow Conservative Boris Johnson to power in July. Cameron says they"left the truth at home" during the campaign, citing among other things the false claim that Britain could save 350 million pounds per week that was being sent to the EU and give it to the country's beloved National Health Service.
He's taking blame because he put it up to an actual vote though he was against it?
In other words the socialist lost control! Freedom is Contagious!
Peoples vote should have been carried through instead of letting leftiist labor party call the shots for country.
open mouth insert foot.

Idiot
What a disaster he created!
Now that's a good person.
I wish Trump would apologize for dividing the US!😠😠😠😠😠
One of the worst politicians in the 21st century.
You mean the divisions YOU caused....
Why? His instincts were correct, it was his political ambition that was wrong. The people want to LEAVE! Now he’s sorry because his ‘gotcha’ moment backfired and he’s getting exactly the opposite of what he was hoping for?
He can put a responsible referendum, say must have 60% support. Otherwise, no change. The cutoff should be linking to the importance of the issue. Like constitution amendment in US, wise men decided 50% is not the cutoff for a change
At least he did not veto everything the previous administration had done just because of hate.
It was actually him, William Hague and George Osborne who decided to have the referendum - in a room on their own. Unbelievable isn't it. Our Houses of Parliament over here are taking themselves down a sink hole.
Is it too late now to say sorry
