British Home Secretary, Theresa May, is making history as the second woman to emerge the Prime Minister of Britain, after David Cameron offered to resign as a result Britain’s decision to pull out of European Union.
May is coming 26 years after Margaret Thatcher, who, in 1979, became the first woman British Prime Minister, until her exit in 1990, after she had ruled Britain for 11 years.
Cameron decided to relinquish power after the unpopular historic European Union referendum that eclipsed the exit of the United Kingdom from the EU, a decision, which though was against his wish, but only allowed for the referendum to fulfil his campaign promise.
Now, Cameron’s decision to wilfully vacate office has set England on another path of history, paving the way for Britain to elect her second woman Prime Minister.
David Cameron is expected to vacate his position as Prime Minister on Wednesday after 52 per cent voted to leave EU in June.
The race to replace Cameron from 10, Downing Street, has witnessed several twists, owing to reluctance of touted candidates to take over the oblivious challenges that face the in-coming PM a United Kingdom with European Union.
For the first time in the history of England, two women; Home Secretary Theresa May and Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom, emerged as the leading successors, but the race took a new dimension early on Monday, after Leadsom pulled out of the race, leaving May as the heir apparent to the exalted seat.
