Theresa May has been under increasing pressure from her own MPs, many of whom are deeply dissatisfied with the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement she has agreed upon with the European Union.
In 2016, the U. K. voted to leave the EU in a national referendum. After the result, then-Prime Minister David Cameron, who was also the leader of the Conservative Party, resigned as he had campaigned for Britain to stay.
Theresa May was elected as the new party leader and so also assumed the role of prime minister. She has taken on the responsibility for negotiations over Britain’s withdrawal from the EU and last month announced that an agreement over the terms of Brexit had been reached.
But the British parliamentary system requires any such deal to be supported by a majority of members of the British Parliament and this has always looked unlikely to happen.
