British Prime Minister David Cameron has ruled out serving a third term if the Conservative Party is re-elected in May's general election. Though the PM said he simply hopes to end his role, the statement triggered accusations of political arrogance.

"I'm not saying all prime ministers necessarily definitely go bad, or even go bad at the same rate, but I feel I've got more to bring to this job, the job is half done, the economy's turned round, the deficit is half down and I want to finish the job," the politician told BBC in an interview.

Regarding his future role, Cameron has only revealed that he wants to continue being an MP.

"There definitely comes a time where a fresh pair of eyes and fresh leadership would be good, and the Conservative Party has got some great people coming up: the Theresa Mays, and the George Osbornes, and the Boris Johnsons. You know, there's plenty of talent there. I'm surrounded by very good people. The third term is not something I'm contemplating."
