1) British!=English.

2) David Cameron is in no way representative of the British or the English.

Please stop painting us all with the same brush.

David Cameron is in no way representative of the British or the English.

Right, because you don't have a representative government. At all.

David Cameron is leader of the Conservative party, which received 36.1% percent of the popular vote at the last general election. In order to form a government, he had to enter a coalition with the third party, the Liberal Democrats, who received 23% of the popular vote. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_electio...).

Based on these numbers, it seems difficult to claim that the leader of any political party represents the views of Britain as a whole.
