During the first years of his life, David Cameron (whose photo was shown above) went to a fairly prestigious Hatterdown preparatory school, located in Winkfield. It is noteworthy that in the same school the sons of the acting Queen Elizabeth II, as well as many children of British billionaires, were trained. For example, Peter Getty, a classmate and fairly close friend of the British Prime Minister, is the son of the famous oil businessman John Paul Getty.
According to family tradition, in 1979, David Cameron (photo No. 2 at the university) decided to enter the elite Eaton College. Moreover, in 1983, before he needed to pass the first final exams, he was convicted of smoking marijuana. However, he admitted his deed, and since he did not distribute the drug among other students, he was not expelled, but was forbidden to leave the college for a certain time.
According to rumors, even before the start of a turbulent political career, British Prime Minister David Cameron may have used hard drugs, but these rumors are unconfirmed.
Despite the episode that happened, David managed to pass the exams quite well, as a result of which he entered the Braznoz College at Oxford University, although he did not pass the philosophy as well as he passed the entrance exams. Before starting his studies in Oxford, British Prime Minister David Cameron managed to work nine months, three of which he worked as an assistant to his godfather (who was at that time a member of parliament from the Conservative Party), and also participated in debates in the House communities.

In the process of training, Cameron was a member of the university’s tennis team, and was also an ordinary member of various closed elite clubs in Oxford. In 1988, he received a first degree diploma.
Carier start
September 26, 1988, David Cameron appears on the political stage of England. Politics for him began with a research department, in which he was involved in the detailed development of his party’s strategy, as well as in the formation of all kinds of briefings for debates in parliament. Since 1991, Cameron was offered a post in the political department of the research department, and subsequently he was already involved in the direct development of an economic strategy for his party, as well as in writing speeches for the Prime Minister Major, which he used during the 1992 elections, but Major himself subsequently spoke that he did not remember the young assistant.
After the Conservatives won the 1992 election, David Cameron began working with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, holding the post of his political adviser. The crisis that arose at that time led to a significant increase in taxes in the country, as well as a host of other negative consequences in the economy. It was then the chancellor of the treasury who was given the full responsibility for these events, as a result of which he resigned, while Cameron, retaining party confidence, received the position of special adviser while working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where he briefed the minister, who later became the leader of the conservative party .
Break
Next, we look at the political break that David Cameron took (a biography briefly describes these events). In 1994, he resigned as a special adviser and began working as director of corporate relations at the well-known Carlton Communications company, which at that time had just acquired television broadcasting rights in London. He received this position with the help of his bride Samantha Gwendolyn. The fact is that the mother of the bride personally knew the chairman of this company, as a result of which, at the request of her daughter, she invited him to hire Cameron. In the process of his work, the future prime minister was able to provide the company with the right to digital satellite broadcasting, and also directly participated in the executive board. Subsequently, Green, the company's chairman, said that Cameron was a worthy candidate for the board of directors, but instead decided to participate in the parliamentary elections.
Career in Parliament
It is worth noting that before 2001, the name "David Cameron" could also be on the list of candidates for parliament. The biography says that he tried to apply for participation in the elections in Ashford back in 1994, but did not do this because of the delay of the train. In 1997, he could not win the election in Stafford, where at that time the candidate from the Labor Party won. It is also worth noting that in 2000, Cameron was not lucky to get on the list of candidates for elections, and now he already wanted to be elected from Wilden.
In 2001, he won the election from the Whitney constituency, which took place after Sean Woodward decided to leave for the Labor Party.
Advisor work
After Cameron was elected to the House of Commons. He headed a separate committee dealing with internal affairs. This was a fairly prominent post, especially for a relatively young parliamentarian. David took an active part in the debate, as a result of which he became famous as an excellent speaker. It is known that Cameron made a proposal to reduce the responsibility for the sale and use of the ecstasy drug, and, as a hunting lover, he opposed the prohibition of hunting for animals with dogs. Among other things, Cameron opposed the prohibition of smoking in restaurants, but did not vote on this issue, because at that time he had a baby.
In March 2003, David Cameron actively supported the armed invasion of Iraq, but 3 years later he initiated an investigation into the validity of this action.
Becoming a leader
Despite the fact that Cameron took an extremely active part in the debate, the leader of the conservative party, Jan Duncan Smith, decided not to promote him in the front lines in 2002, as a result of which David opposed Smith to remain a leader and even spoke out against party politics. In particular, he abstained from voting on the bill on the adoption of children by homosexual couples.
In 2003, Cameron was given the opportunity to enter the Shadow Cabinet, where he became Deputy Shadow Chamber Leader Eric Fort. In November of the same year, Smith stepped down as chairman of the conservative party, with the result that Cameron received the post of vice chairman under Michael Howard, who became the new leader. In this position, he was directly responsible for coordinating party policies, and in 2005 he took the post of shadow minister of education.
Among other things, it is worth noting the fact that from 2002 until his assumption of the post of leader of the conservative party, the future prime minister was also the non-executive director of the commercial company Urbium, which owned a large English bar chain called Tiger Tiger.
Party leader
After the Laborites won the general election, Michael Howard announced his resignation from the post of party leader, as a result of which Cameron ran for this post and defeated his main opponent with a devastating result, gaining 66% of the vote. As an opposition leader , he became a member of the Privy Royal Council of Great Britain that same year.
In the very near future, after Cameron took the post of leader of the opposition, according to social surveys of the population in 2007, he was rated higher than the then Prime Minister Tony Blair. After Blair announced his resignation in the same year, the Laborites were able to maintain their leadership by nominating new chairman Gordon Brown, however, after 4 months, Cameron again had higher ratings, and the support of conservatives among voters was the highest over the past 14 years of the party. It was then that Cameron called for early parliamentary elections, and also repeatedly called Gordon Brown's policy old-fashioned, in every way criticizing the economic platform of the Laborites.
Parliamentary action
Cameron opposed the anti-terrorism law proposed by the Labor Party, as well as the introduction of specialized identification krats. He always called himself Euro-skeptic and said that England was not obliged to obey the foreign policy of the United States. In 2008, he made a proposal to increase the copyright term by 20 years in exchange for musicians refusing to chant misogyny, materialism, and the cult of arms.
In the context of the crisis that arose in 2008, the population of England decided that the economic measures of the Laborites were effective, as a result of which they again took leading positions in social surveys.
