Theresa May says she will resign as prime minister after she ‘delivers Brexit’

By William Booth and William Booth London bureau chief Email Bio Follow Karla Adam Karla Adam London correspondent covering the United Kingdom Email Bio Follow March 27 at 2:03 PM LONDON — British Prime Minister Theresa May told her Conservative Party lawmakers Wednesday that she would step down before the next phase of Brexit negotiations, offering up her leadership post to convince hardliners to pass her unpopular plan to exit the European Union.

After May’s earlier promise of a tentative, slow-motion resignation, the Parliament was set to vote Wednesday night on what kind of Brexit the fractious, quarreling, paralyzed lawmakers want.It is also possible that a way forward might emerge in a series of “indicative” votes for or against a “soft” or “hard” exit from the European Union.

The votes that begin Wednesday will be nonbinding. May has said she is willing to hear what the lawmakers have to say, while at the same time she worries the votes will stoke a constitutional crisis. May’s government opposed the voting scheme but is too weak to stop it. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told Parliament on Wednesday that May had a “very clear choice . . . either listen and change course — or go.”

During lively Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday, May told a fellow Conservative lawmaker who has voted twice against her deal: “We can guarantee delivering on Brexit if this week he and others in this House support the deal.”

Yes, Yes, Yes!

So, dictator-for-life, then?

jMESSpalmer

so... destroy the country then leave...

Jeez, that is one hell of an ultimatum.

God help us,May wants to be PM so much she could contrive to drag Brexit out for years

Typical conservative strategy. 'I broke it... Now you fix it.' But I won't quit until it's fully and irrevocably broken. Push her out now.... Pick an upper floor.

Like DavidCameron after he delivered the referendum. Politicians are just people who frolic right and left with a serenity in the incompetence that commands respect. RIP europe an UK

So Britain will have Theresa May for long, then.

“Fine everyone, fine. As soon as you let me permanently fuck over the country I’ll step down.”

She has no choice, wish she had took Trump advice last year, French President Macron will be next to step down.

So basically, Prime Minister forever?

why wait

She can't deliver, may as well pack her bags

She'll be stepping down WAAAAAY before that dear

Pretty clever way to become prime-minister-for-life
