英国首相卡梅隆:不寻求第三次连任

British Prime Minister David Cameron says he will not seek a third term at 10 Downing Street if his Conservative Party wins the upcoming parliamentary elections.

In an interview with BBC television that aired Monday, Mr. Cameron pledged to serve a full five-year term if his party remains in government after the May 10 vote, saying he wanted to finish working on such issues as education and welfare reform.

But the prime minister told interviewer James Landale that "terms are like shredded wheat - two are wonderful, but three might just be too many."

"There definitely comes a time when a fresh pair of eyes and fresh leadership would be good, and the Conservative Party has some great people coming up," Mr. Cameron added, naming Home Secretary Theresa May, Chancellor George Osborne and London Mayor Boris Johnson as potential successors.
