Cameron II cabinet
David Cameron was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from May 11, 2010 . In the British general election on May 7, 2015, Cameron's party, the Conservative Party ("Tories"), received 36.9% 0.8 percentage points more votes than in the 2010 election and received an absolute majority of the MPs (a consequence of majority voting ). The previous coalition with the Liberal Democrats was now followed by a sole government of the "Tories".
As a result, Cameron now had five more cabinet posts to give to party friends than in his previous cabinet . On March 18, 2016, Iain Duncan Smith unexpectedly resigned as Secretary of Labor and Pensions. Cameron appointed the Minister for Wales Stephen Crabb to succeed him the next day . On June 23, 2016, 51.9% of the voters voted for a Brexit ; shortly thereafter, Cameron announced his resignation as soon as the Tories elected a new party leader. After Andrea Leadsom withdrew her candidacy, Theresa May was the only candidate; she became party leader on July 11th . Cameron and his cabinet were in office until July 13, 2016. May took over some ministers from the Cameron cabinet to her cabinet .
