49歲的卡梅倫為何今天下午突然辭任國會議員？

小海狸正在埋頭苦幹時，手機上突然密集推送了同一條新聞。

卡梅倫在辭去英國首相一職三個月後，於今天下午突然宣布辭去國會議員，並且立即生效。

這位前首相稱，對這一選擇，他已進行了了長期而艱難的考慮。他最終決定，不要成為現任政府的麻煩。

卡梅倫說，以他的立場看，在現代政治之下，一個前首相擔任后座議員，確實不太現實。「我想，你做的任何一件事，對於政府需要為國家而做的，是一種很大的干擾和分心。」

【備註】后座議員（backbench MP），英國議會下院中坐在後排議席的普通議員。按英國下議院的慣例，執政黨議會黨團領袖、在政府中任職的議員以及反對黨影子內閣的成員等重要議員坐在前排，普通議員則坐在後排。

卡梅倫稱，他將開始建立一個告別國會後的全新生活。「我才49歲，所以我希望仍然可以為公共事務和國家繼續貢獻。「

卡梅倫說今天下午他已經將此決定通報給了首相梅，她表示完全理解。

以下為卡梅倫辭任國會議員聲明全文：

I have thought about this long and hard over the summer and I have decided the right thing to do is to stand down as the member of parliament for Witney. There will be a byelection. I will give the Conservative candidate my full support.

But in my view, with modern politics, with the circumstances of my resignation, it isn』t really possible to be a proper backbench MP as a former prime minister. I think everything you do will become a big distraction and a big diversion from what the government needs to do for our country. And I support Theresa May. I think she』s got off to a great start. I think she can be a strong prime minister for our country. And I don』t want to be that distraction. I want Witney to have a new MP who can play a full part in parliamentary and political life without being a distraction.

I want to thank everybody here in west Oxfordshire who has been so supportive. It has been a great honour and privilege to serve this area and to serve these brilliant people. I』m going to go on living locally. I will go on supporting the local causes and charities that make this such a great place in our country. But obviously I』m going to have to start to build a life outside Westminster. I hope I』ll continue to contribute in terms of public service and of course contribute to this country that I love so much.

And this is what Cameron said when it was put to him that he could be accused of snubbing Theresa May.

I spoke to Theresa May and she was very understanding about this decision. I support her. I support what she』s doing. She』s got off to a cracking start. Obviously, I』m going to have my own views about different issues; people would know that. And that』s really the point. As a former prime minister it is very difficult, I think, to sit as a backbencher and not be an enormous diversion and distraction from what the government is doing. I don』t want to be that distraction. I want Witney to have an MP that can play a full role in parliamentary and political life in a way that I think I would find very difficult, if not impossible.
