British Prime minister has indicated of having no plans to quit from his position in case the Scotland will choose to vote in favour of independence in September referendum.

On being inquired whether Mr Cameron would resign as PM if the United Kingdom have to face partitioning, he has responded that Sept. 18 vote would not determine his future as prime minister or Conservative leader as that would be decided at Britain’s general election next May.

The Prime minister has also insisted of having no regret over agreement to hold the referendum, as he believed it to be impossible to hold Scots in Britain against their will.

Mr Cameron has said: “My name is not appearing on the ballot paper. I don’t even have a vote in this Scottish referendum.

“I believe, as Prime Minister, I did the right thing by enabling this vote to go ahead, but the vote is about whether Scotland stays in the United Kingdom or separates itself from the United Kingdom. It is not about my future, it is about Scotland’s future.”

The Prime minister has added: “My intention is to spend every one of the next 364 days before the next general election making sure we put in place every part of this long-term economic plan that is turning this country around.

“At the end of that process, it will be for the British public to decide whether I keep my job or lose my job. That’s the way it should work in a democracy.”

The major three British political parties are campaigning to preserve Scotland’s 307-year-old union with England, and Mr Cameron will probably be blamed for the partitioning due to his approval for the referendum in 2012, believing the vote would either fail or won’t happen at all.

However, Mr Cameron has said to believe he had shown “respect” to Scottish voters by offering them a referendum which was “legal, decisive and fair”.
