Or at least that was the plan. Unfortunately for Cameron, reality stepped up and bitch slapped him to the curb. He will be stepping down Wednesday instead, and the next Prime Minister will be Theresa May. Here are some of the details from Sky News:<\/p>\n
Mrs May is to get the keys to No 10 after her only rival in the leadership race, Andrea Leadsom, withdrew from the campaign.<\/b><\/p>\n
Whoops! I\u2019d wager that Cameron didn\u2019t see that coming.<\/p>\n
At lunchtime, shortly after a key campaign speech by the Home Secretary, her only rival in the Tory leadership race, Andrea Leadsom, withdrew. <\/b>Mr Cameron was then whisked back from an air show in Hampshire to Downing Street.<\/b><\/p>\n
Oh to be a fly on the wall when Cameron was told that his termination from employment had been moved up by a few months.<\/p>\n
Just before 4pm, Mr Cameron came out of Number 10 and told the waiting media that he will do a final Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday and then see the Queen to resign. <\/b><\/p>\n
To which the Queen, who apparently is not a fan of the European Union replied:<\/p>\n

This evening, Mrs May was confirmed as leader of the Tory party and then, surrounded by her supporters at Westminster, she paid tribute to her rival candidates in the race. <\/b>The Maidenhead MP, who will be Britain’s second female prime minister, said Mrs Leadsom had shown “dignity”, and also expressed her gratitude to Mr Cameron.<\/b><\/p>\n
If she\u2019s half as good as Margaret Thatcher, Britain\u2019s future is looking better. She has a lot on her plate, staring with telling the EU \u201cSo long and thanks for nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of her first big tasks as PM will be negotiating the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union after last month’s referendum. The PM designate, who backed staying in the EU, said: “Brexit means Brexit and we will make a success of it.” Mrs May, 59, said she wanted to “negotiate the best deal for Britain” and “forge a new role for ourselves in the world”.<\/strong><\/p>\n And she said she wanted to reunite the nation and “give a strong new positive vision for the future of our country… that works not for the privileged view but that works for everyone of us”. She added: “We are going to give people more control over their lives. That is how, together we will build a better Britain.” <\/b><\/p>\n Hmm, I think she and President Trump will get along quite well. Now, what happened to all the others who were looking to take over 10 Downing Street? One was Boris Johnson. He was in a tooth and nail fight with Cameron over Brexit. When Brexit passed, everyone thought he would be in the running. Apparently he was, right up until someone he thought he could count on, knifed him in the back. Then others started dropping out as well.<\/p>\n Mrs Leadsom, 53, said she was pulling out of the leadership contest shortly after apologising to her rival after appearing to <\/b>suggest the fact that she was a mother gave her the edge over the childless Mrs May.<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n The junior energy minister and Brexit supporter said a nine-week leadership campaign to succeed Mr Cameron at such a critical time for the UK would be “highly undesirable”. Mrs Leadsom said Mrs May was ideally placed to implement Brexit and offered the Home Secretary her full support.<\/strong><\/p>\n That\u2019s one big difference between United States politics and UK politics. When an American politician puts his or her foot in his or her mouth, they will remove it and deny anything happened. The Brits see, to understand that when they screw up, it\u2019s time to pull the ripcord.<\/p>\n Mrs Leadsom’s announcement she was quitting the race came a little more than an hour after Mrs May launched her national campaign in Birmingham. <\/b><\/p>\n With Mrs. May, (I wonder is she\u2019s any relation to Top Gear\u2019s<\/i><\/span> Grand Tour\u2019s James May?), taking over for Cameron, the opposition parties are now calling for a new election.<\/p>\n There have been demands from Labour and the Liberal Democrats for Mrs May to call a snap general election. Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said: “With Theresa May’s coronation we need an early general election. The Tories now have no mandate. Britain deserves better than this.”<\/strong><\/p>\n And that\u2019s the way things work in the British Parliamentarian system. If the opposition can convince enough ministers of Parliament that there should be a new election, then lo and behold, there will be one. I think the campaign over there runs about 30 days. But I\u2019m not at all certain. At least it will give Labour enough time to dump Jeremy Corbyn into the Themes.<\/p>\n Labour election co-ordinator Jon Trickett has said he is putting the whole party on a general election footing, on the same day Angela Eagle launched a bid to get rid of leader Jeremy Corbyn.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Yeah, he would be the Bernie Sanders of Great Britain, with about the same grasp on reality and mathematics as Comrade Bernie. We wish the new Prime Minister good luck.<\/p>\n Thatisall<\/p>\n ~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n [yasr_visitor_votes size=”medium”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good day all.
