There is so little we know about Theresa May, the lady slated to become the next prime minister of UK. The Brits, apparently, know more about her than we do and there is an easy explanation for that -- she’s been interior minister for six years. May’s job is arguably the toughest job in the government. No British politician, who has served as interior minister, ever emerges with his reputation intact. May, is clearly made of different stuff because she is the longest serving interior minister since the last 60 years. May, remained out of the Brexit campaign and returned at a time when practically all the men on both sides of the European Union debate abandoned ship. While Boris Johnston, David Cameron and Nigel Farage lost their nerve when faced with the enormity of the task ahead
and quit, Jeremy Corby, leader of the Labour Party had to be
booted out. It is into this leadership vacuum that May has
stepped in and on her shaoulders rests the task of steering
Britain through a painful parting with the EU, and pulling the
Conservatives out of the chasm that they now find themselves.
She might not have a grand vision, UK newspapers remind us,
but in a crisis the average Briton seem to think she know what
to do. She has already signaled that Britain will invoke Article
50 when it is ready and not at the behest of Brussels, a clear
indication that the UK is in a tough pair of hands.
