LONDON - British Prime Minister Theresa May has offered to meet leaders of an influential group of Conservative Party lawmakers next week to address growing calls for her to resign, party representatives said on Wednesday.
He said May wanted to hold votes in parliament on detailed Brexit legislation before Britain is due to hold elections for the European Parliament in two weeks. So far, she has failed to overcome resistance within her party to the deal she agreed with the European Union last year. But many Conservative lawmakers believe that May has failed to deliver on Britain’s vote to leave the EU and that the party needs a new approach.
Downing Street has previously said it could try to pass the legislation needed to ratify the Brexit deal before holding another vote in parliament on approving May’s agreement with Brussels.“But it is clear that the prime minister wishes and is determined to do her best and secure our departure from the European Union with an early second reading of the legislation and that her departure is tied very closely to that process,” he told the BBC.
