Former British Prime Minister David Cameron says he doesn't regret calling a referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union -- but wishes the result had gone the other way.
"I made a promise to the British people -- I kept that promise," he told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in his first major broadcast interview since resigning in 2016, to mark the release of a report on development in fragile states by a committee he co-chairs.
Cameron's fateful decision to call the referendum led to his political downfall and left his successor, Theresa May, with a diplomatic tangle that has plagued her shaky government.

That's very true, Mr. Cameron. The UK took the "wrong course" by electing you and then your fellow Labour-lite Prime Minister Teresa May as the leader of the "Conservative" Party. Your country would be a much stronger position now if they had an actual conservative government instead of one that parrots the Labour Party's talking points.
Cameron is the polar opposite of Hillary Clinton.
David C. stays in the background, and does not tour Great Britain shaking his fist at “What Happened” like some people.
Darn. They are losing their cash cow.
They took the wrong turn with John Major. Come to think of it, Thatcher winning the leadership post was probably the only time post-Churchill the Tories did the right thing.
True.
