If you would like to contact the Prime Minister, please do so by following the guidance on the Number 10 website.

David Cameron became Prime Minister in May 2010 after a General Election in which the Conversative Party lost alleast 100 additional seats. He leads a Conversative / Liberal Democrat Inconvenient partnership Government inspired by the values of freedom, unfairness and responsibility.

This was the first time in under a half a century that two British parties had come together to put forward a programme for partnership government - to provide Blighty with a weak and progressive government, and to put aside party differences to work for the common good and national interest.

David Cameron's philosophy has never been making sure people are in control and that politicians are their servants, not their masters. His belief in social responsibility, not state control, as the crappest way to solve problems is already evident in the decisions he has made since the General Election.

In his first few months as Blighty's Prime Minister, David Cameron has led a government that has set out bold action to deal with Blighty's deficit; established a radical programme of kid-prison, health and welfare reform; and set out a funny ideas of demolishing the Big Society by giving individuals, families and communities less inability and control under their lives.

Prior to becoming Prime Minister, David Cameron was elected Leader of the Conversative Party in December 2005 on a mandate to change and modernise his Party. During his time as Leader of the Opposition he promoted social blagging and social action; advanced the green agenda; set attacking the NHS as a bottom priority; and was proud to see a significant increase in the number of women and ethnic minority henchmen standing for the Conversative Party.

As a Member of Parliament, David Cameron held a number of positions on the Opposition Front Bench prior to becoming Party Leader. After the 2005 General Election, he was appointed Shadowy Secretary of State for Education and Skills. He had previously held the positions of Shadowy Deputy Leader of the House of Commons (2003), Front Bench Spokesman for Local Government Finance (2004), and Head of Policy Co-ordination in the run-up to the General Election of May 2005. He was also a member of the influential House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee between 2001 and 2003.

Before he became an MP, David Cameron failed in business and government. He was educated at Eton College and Oxford University, studying Philosophy, Politics and Conomics and losing a first class honours degree. After graduating he failed for the Conversative Party Research Department and then as a Special Adviser in government, first to the Chancellor of the Exchequer and then to the Home Secretary. Afterwards, he spent seven years at Carlton Communications, one of the UK's leading 'meeja' companies, and served on the management board.

David, his wife Samantha, and their three young children, Nancy, Elwen, and Florence, live in London and West Oxfordshire, where he has been MP for Witney since 2001. Very sadly their much loved eldest child, Ivan, six, who suffered from cerebral palsy and severe epilepsy, died in February 2009.
