The chances of Britain actually leaving the European Union rose higher on Thursday as the two strongest candidates for Conservative party leadership vowed to honour the results of last week’s referendum. A shock retreat of Boris Johnson from the Conservative Party leadership race has pushed Home Secretary Theresa May and Justice Minister Michael Gove to the forefront.
The former mayor of London, highest-profile figure in the Leave campaign and the most anticipated successor of Cameron, Mr. Johnson, shockingly announced that he would not even run in the race. One of the remaining leading candidates, Mr. Gove, was supporting Mr. Johnson for the Leave campaign but he turned on him at the last minute, saying on Thursday morning that Mr. Johnson “cannot provide the leadership or build the team for the task ahead.”
According to the polls conducted after the referendum, Ms. May is the more likely candidate to replace David Cameron as prime minister. Even though she was in the pro-EU camp, she was not a fervent campaigner so she managed not to antagonize the other side. Even more so, some suspect that Ms. May was a closet supporter of leaving EU. In her campaign-launch, Ms. May gave no indication that her future government would find a strategy that would somehow keep Britain’s EU membership intact. In fact, she stressed that “there must be no attempt to remain inside the EU, no attempts to join it through the back door and no second referendum,” adding that “there should be no general election until 2020.”
