May? No Way?
After the devastation of the EU referendum results, we sadly
saw our Prime Minister David Cameron resign – this meant that the role for
Prime Minister was up for grabs!
It was seen to be a bitter fight between Boris Johnson and Michael
Gove, both ‘Leave’ campaigners as Gove eventually ‘knifed’ Johnson on his
potential to be the next national leader. Whilst all the drama was occurring,
Theresa May, Home Secretary at the time, was somewhat confident at gaining that
position but was not very vocal. She was seen as a popular candidate as she had
wide range support from the majority of the Conservative Party and Cameron
himself.
After both Johnson and finally Gove stepped down in the
leadership race, all who was left was Andrea Leadsom, Minister of State for
Energy.
What a proud moment for Britain as we have two female candidates
waiting for the role of Prime Minster! As feminists ourselves, we thought this
moment was truly inspiring for young girls and women showing us how nothing is
impossible for women and if we strive and show passion in what we do, nothing
and no one can turn us down. A female Prime Minister was inevitable! (Well obviously)

On the 11th of July, the race to be Prime
Minister was cut short for Theresa May as Leadsom stood down after it was
deemed by many that she didn’t have the right experience and take on the
leadership role and he CV was also questioned. This left May who is now the
second female Prime Minister of Britain, she was left ‘honoured and humbled’.
From the results of Brexit, May promises to make Britain
great again and make a ‘success’ out of Brexit. Hopefully with the country in
her hands we can soon see some positivity from the referendum results for the
country.

With May now being Prime Minister, others have another
question on their mind: will we see another Thatcher?
“Together we will
build a better Britain” Theresa May – Prime Minister
