The resignation of the British Prime Minister is difficult to break the "Brexit" deadlock

British Prime Minister Teresa May said on the 24th that she will resign as the leader of the Conservative Party on June 7, but will remain as prime minister to the new leader of the Conservative Party. The analysis pointed out that Teresa May’s early departure could not break the British “Brexit” deadlock. In addition, due to the obvious advantages of the “Brexit” in the successor candidates, the possibility of “no agreement to leave the EU” has increased, and the UK economy is facing a “disaster” effect.

British Prime Minister leaves early

On the same day, Teresa May said in a statement outside the Prime Minister’s office that she deeply regrets that she failed to lead the UK to “Brexit,” and that it is in the UK’s interest for a new prime minister to lead the UK to continue the “Brexit” process.

Teresa May said: "I will leave this position that will make me feel glorious in my life. I am the second female prime minister in this country, but certainly not the last one. I am full of kindness and grateful to go. I have the opportunity to serve the country I love, and I am always grateful."

In June 2016, the United Kingdom held a referendum on whether to "Brexit" and decided to leave the EU. Teresa May became the prime minister the next month, replacing David Cameron, who resigned because of the British "Leaving Europe". After taking office, he committed to fulfilling the results of the "Brexit" referendum.

Teresa May started the “Brexit” process in a year and a half and reached a “Brexit” agreement with the EU. However, the UK’s previous “Brexit” agreement with the European Union has been vetoed three times by the lower house of the British Parliament. In order to promote the agreement, Teresa May promised that she would be allowed to step down as long as the Brexit agreement was approved by the lower house of the British Parliament.

During Teresa May’s three-year tenure, a total of 36 cabinet ministers resigned. A considerable proportion of them resigned because they were dissatisfied with the “Brexit” program given by the authorities. The draft of the "Brexit" agreement of Shamei also confirms the great differences within the Conservative Party, the largest party in the parliament. The analysis believes that the departure of Teresa May highlights the difficulties of the British "Brexit" and the lack of response from political leaders.

Successor has a long way to go

According to regulations, the new leader elected by the ruling party will be replaced by the Prime Minister after he leaves office. The new prime minister must be approved by the Queen for a term of office until the next general election. Conservative Party Chairman Brandon Lewis said on the 24th that the election process for the new leader will be officially launched on June 10. The new prime minister is expected to take office before July 20.

Boris Johnson, the former British foreign minister and leader of the "Deaf Europe", is considered to be the most likely candidate to succeed Teresa May and the most desirable prime minister in the British ruling Conservative Party. In July last year, Johnson resigned due to a disagreement with Teresa May on the "Brexit" issue. This month, Johnson has confirmed that once the Prime Minister resigns, he will participate in the Conservative Party’s leadership battle. According to a poll conducted on May 20th, 39% of Conservative Party members believe that Boris Johnson is the first person to succeed Teresa May, while former "Brexit" Minister Dominic Rab The 13% support rate ranked second. In addition, the British cabinet minister Lidington and the Minister of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Michael Goff and others were also considered by the British public opinion as the hot contender for the next prime minister position.

Analysts believe that no matter who comes to power, the differences between the British ruling party and the parliament around "Brexit" will continue to exist. Any "Brexit" program will face enormous resistance, and the UK still faces the risk of "no agreement to leave the EU".

The analysis believes that the United Kingdom is currently facing major challenges at home and abroad – how to resolve imbalances in development, low productivity, security, medical care and other social issues, how to consolidate advantages and regain the status of a world power. The "Brexit" process will undoubtedly determine the direction of the country, and the successor of the Prime Minister has a long way to go.
