British Prime Minister Theresa May says a change of national leader would result in Britain’s departure from the European Union being delayed or stopped, as she vowed to fight to stay in power.
May made the defiant statement outside Downing Street on Wednesday, arguing that stepping aside at a time of crisis would “put our country’s future at risk and create uncertainty when we can least afford it.”
The U. K. leader is facing a no-confidence vote that will see her removed as party and government leader if she loses.
