Theresa May – the “rising star”

The UK is looking for a new Prime Minister and Theresa May is considered as big favorite for the succession to David Cameron’s. With your London to get a British edition of the German Chancellor.

Theresa May has also 59, a personal weakness: extravagant shoes. In order to device again and again in the headlines. Appeared to be a date you have spikes in flat black Pumps with metal. Whether it was the announcement of a battle, is not known. May not have needed something. It is regarded as the absolute opposite of most of the British politicians, as the British edition, the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel. She was solid and with integrity, not vain, very diligent and act in a sober and pragmatic.

So you not only describe many of the conservative party of friends (Conservative Party or Unionist Party, colloquially referred to as “Tories”), but also those who know the Married, but childless daughter of an Anglican clergyman personally closer.

May with long breath

With these properties, the woman who studied at Oxford and then six years at the Bank of England worked, also since 2010 her office as the Minister of the interior done. A lot of admire for it, since for the last 100 years, none has held so long on this Post. A reason why Theresa May with the “iron Lady”, Margaret Thatcher, is compared. However, such comparisons May be rather embarrassing. In a BBC Interview, she not made it clear recently that they meet for lunch to gossip to exchange. Your heart you don’t wear on the tongue. You take care of the tasks that lie ahead of her. As her candidacy as the successor to David Cameron.

What May imagines Brexit

Versöhnerin or new Hardliner? This question is mainly preoccupied with the British, the regret, the Brexit difficult. What would be expected by May as a possible successor to David Cameron?

May had held during the election campaign before the vote for the Brexit back, but was open to the criticism of the Union. You supported David Cameron’s “remain”-campaign, expressed otherwise, but critical of the EU. There is a lack especially to security controls, a defendant May multiple times – most recently cited in may in “the Independent”.

Holding on to the Brexit

At the official announcement of their candidacy, May said there would be no second Referendum. You announced – you should be head of government – the official exit of Britain from the EU at the earliest in a few months time to submit. Article 50 of the EU treaties and, therefore, the discharge request will not be activated before the end of the year, said May. The Brexit should, however, apply in any case. The vote of the British people for the EU was emitting out a strong message against the applicable freedom of movement, said Theresa May on British television. At the latest after the Brexit plans to limit immigration to the UK. As interior Minister, has shown itself particularly in the area of immigration as a Hardliner. I believe that this will redound in the internal party Competition to the advantage of many of the Tories are calling for immigration reform.

Its sharpest Expression: “Where there is immigration, it is impossible for a Cohesion in a society.” May have wanted to restrict funding programmes for foreign students at British universities, and workers from the EU increased demand health contributions.

A candidate with a lot of restraint

With not even 30 years ago, Theresa May was already active in the local politics. At the beginning of the 1990s, the leap into the British house of Commons managed to get through it. Their own party, according to a survey by the opinion research Institute ICM, with over 60 percent behind her. It is so significantly in front of all your competitors – Andrea Leadsom, Stephen Crabb, Michael Gove and Liam Fox. One reason for this is the great longing for tranquility and reliability in the Tories.

Theresa May was years ago already so open and described her own party as the “nasty party” – a “nasty party”. Evil has taken this particular type of honesty, apparently, no one. With this Utterance May want to improve the position of their party.

Cameron in the back

Theresa May is seen as Cameron’s pioneer. Cameron has done so in the past for May as his successor. The opinion research Institute ICM determined that Theresa May arrives in the population very well. The newspaper “The Sun on Sunday” quotes the ICM with the sentence: “it is overwhelming seen clearly, as the most competent candidate. For both men and women, in every Region of the country and among supporters and members of all parties.” The majority of the otherwise feisty British press raves also of Theresa May as a candidate of reason as the successor for David Cameron. The “Telegraph” described Theresa May as a “rising star”.
