Junior Energy minister, Andrea Leadsom has thrown in the towel in the race to become leader of the British Conservative Party. With the resignation of David Cameron, Britain’s Parliamentary system means that whoever becomes the leader of the ruling Conservative Party will become Prime Minister.
Following two rounds of voters, the number of contenders in the race was trimmed down to two and following the shocking decision of Leadsom to step down today, Home Secretary Theresa May is now unopposed and will likely emerge as Prime Minister. Andrea Leadsom Leadsome said;
Quote
“The best interests of our country inspired me to stand for our leadership. I believe in leaving the EU a bright future awaits. The referendum result represented a clear desire for change. A nine-week leadership campaign at such a critical point for our country is highly undesirable.”“The interests of our country are best served by the immediate appointment of a strong and well-supported Prime Minister,”
“I am therefore withdrawing from the leadership election and I wish Theresa May the very greatest success. I assure her of my full support.”

hope she no go wicked?
LOLZ. Theresa May is actually a tough woman. I don't I would put her in that category of a wicked woman if I were asked to qualify her.. But I think most people will do. Most especially Immigrants in the UK because she was quite tough when she was the Home Office Secretary.The Irony of it is that I got my UK 5 years residential permit in that time of her toughness without stress. Meanwhile most of my friends that were dying to remain in the UK after our PSW got expired were having issues.Knowing full well I will be relocating back to Nigeria, I just applied for the fun of it, and also to ease in and out access for me.Behold it paid of. So personally I would say she is a Tough person and not wicked.
