David Cameron says he won't serve a third term as Prime Minister

David Cameron has been accused of arrogance and "taking the British public for granted" after ruling out seeking a third term as Prime Minister if he is returned to power in May.

The criticism came after the PM said he was standing for election to serve for a full second term but would quit after that.

He also named three of his senior colleagues - Home Secretary Theresa May, Chancellor George Osborne and London mayor Boris Johnson - as potential successors as Conservative leader when he steps down.

Following Mr Cameron's comments, Downing Street moved quickly to insist the PM was focused on the need to win the election on 7 May.

Mr Cameron said he was standing for election to serve for a full second term, but added: "Terms are like Shredded Wheat: two are wonderful but three might just be too many."

I would vote for anyone to prevent him getting a second term let alone a third.

I don't think he and his useless party stand a chance in hell of securing a majority. 46 more days and hopefully we see the back of him. Then again with all that said, his pledges and promises aren't worth a jot going by his record of the last five years so who knows whether he's telling the truth or not here. Probably not.

Thoughts?

It's a shame he didn't say that about his first term.

And the possibility of an upcoming second.

I don't like him but why is it arrogant to say that IF he gets elected he'll stand down afterwards

It's not but with the general election in 6 weeks time any quote can be taken to mean absolutely anything for any reason - this just stood out because he announced his intention to step down in 5 years time.
