May to resign in 2019

Theresa May is apparently going to resign in 2019 after Brexit.

For the left and some of her own party members and MPs it is brilliant news. May has called all MP back-benches of the Conservatives and invited them to her holiday home to make sure there is no leader election in the mean time until she bows out with dignity in to years following Brexit. Although Phillip Hammond, current British Chancellor of the Exchequer, has denied she has set a date for resignation, one Tory MP reportedly said: Tory MP said: ‘It’s clear she won’t lead us into another election and will be gone by September 2019. She invited MPs to Chequers to ensure there isn’t a ­leadership contest in the meantime.’

Another source has stated rumours coming from her own party suggested that she could be forced to step down to allow another candidate to negotiate the United Kingdom’s Brexit deal. Another Conservative MP said ‘Giving a dog a stroke is better then giving it a kick.’ meaning, it’s better for May to leave willingly and try to keep the Tories in power, then her losing the 2022 election, as it’s clear to her popularity she would not win the election.

Labour during this has reportedly decided to flip it’s ideals on Brexit. The centre-left party has now decided to say it wants Britain to remain in the single market in a transitional phase, but still leave the European Union. As Brexit talks are now in a slump, the French, German and other European governments wish to make a trade deal with Britain and to keep it in the single market and customs union, which would not only benefit Britain, but keep the status quo for all current EU members, which is want we probably all want.

Not only would keeping us in the single market and customs union keep the economic status quo as much as we can while not being an EU member, the Scottish National Party would be satisfied with the decision, and even though after the general election a second independence referendum was pretty much declared dead, the SNP would probably be okay with the Scottish devolution and that Scotland had it’s voice heard in Brexit.

All in all, this could most likely benefit Britain with May gone she was a dead woman walking and her departure could unify forces at home.
