UK, May 25, 2024-In a shocking development, ex-British Prime Minister Theresa May has led over 100 Members of Parliament (MPs) to dump the Conservative Party. These resignations pose a considerable challenge to the party leadership and cause a debate on the future of politics in Britain.
May, the Prime Minister between 2016 and 2019, has been quite critical of the current ruling party. The choice to side with disgruntled MPs has caused ripples in the political sphere ever since, and many wonder about the outcome.

The exodus is a testimony that dissatisfaction is on the rise within the Conservative Party since others feel that it has deviated from the right course. May’s decision is considered daring and brave as the Prime Minister is ready to endanger her party’s and personal success for the sake of principles.
The members of the Conservative Party may face challenges to the party unity due to the resignation of 119 existing MPs, May, Harman, and Hancock. As most of them are Conservatives or suspended Tory candidates, a fresh batch of new MPs is expected. May called her colleagues to ensure a Conservative re-election; on the other side, Harman looked back at her parliamentary journey. This could distort the elections since incumbents are known to enjoy certain electoral privileges.
