here it's inside story do stay with us. britain's prime minister to resume resigns out a not getting support for her deal to leave the european union can her successor unite parliament and the country and what will a change of u.k. leadership mean all drugs it this is inside story. hello welcome to the program. brags it's brought

a prime minister to resume to power and it was ultimately the issue that forced her out debate on britain's departure from the european union exposed deep divisions in the country and may face intense pressure to step down after parliament repeatedly but jacques to withdraw a deal with the e.u. on friday she announced she will resign on june the 7th subic attack a prime minister until her governing conservative party elects a new leader may politicians to find a compromise to deliver drugs that. it will be for my successor to seek a way forward that on as the result of the referendum. to succeed he or she would have to find consensus in parliament where i have not i will shortly leave the job that it has been the honor of my life to hold. the 2nd female prime minister but certainly not the last. i do so with no ill will but with enormous

and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love the race is no longer find may successor a contest where pitt politicians want a clean break from the e.u. against those who favor close ties with the bloc but european leaders say they're worried about how the new prime minister will handle drugs it as anyone can see british politics is consumed by breakfast and would be consumed by breaks out for a very long time i mean so we now enter a new phase when it comes to breakfast kind of place and maybe a very dangerous one trial and a little doodle under the circumstances a heartbreak that appears to be a reality that is near impossible to stop the british government the british parliament are soley responsible for a no deal exit and its consequences. let's

bring in our gas joining us on skype from lancaster in the u.k. mark garnet senior lecturer in politics at lancaster university in london jonathan lis deputy director british influence a pro european think tank and also on skype from bologna and italy matthew goodwin professor of politics and international relations of the university of can't thank you to all for joining us mr garnet what led to may's dong 4 was it a failure to deliver bragg's it or just simply because he couldn't manage to heal the political divide in heritage well you know i think you could say this is not a departure it's kind of inevitable for 2 reasons the 1st one after the general election of 2070 which she had called and then for very much of the campaign a which revolved around herself and her plans to address it when that general election resulted in the loss of the conservative party the overall majority

parliament well from that side on this is may's days were numbered it's clear she would never be allowed by the seat to fight another election as leader but obviously. the actual process the failure to get withdrawal terms accepted by parliament on 3 separate occasions resulted in humiliating failure and actually proving the reputation of governments in britain into jeopardy because governments are very rarely defeated by the scale of this may be managed so that was the final trigger that it was a case of really it took longer but would save their own pocket expects to get rid of that and that's where the big question arises because the reason it took so long for this is the parties to be force is because the party isn't sure what to do next mr ellis may said arctura speech that she she called the nation to move to worse compromise but this is something that she rejected herself at the

very beginning until late when she could knows that it's about time to reach out to everyone do you think that compromise is still possible now in your care politics. that is a very good question because british politics has become totally polarized in the last 3 years now you up the right the theresa may resolutely failed to reach out to her opponents and indeed to her colleagues for the 1st 2 to know of years of her premiership and when she finally did so it was much too late but compromise was possible in 2016 immediately after the referendum if she had tried to bridge the gap between the 50 percent he votes to leave and the 48 percent of those who remain there might have been a different outcome that we might have already left the european union on a half say much softer terms but because she failed to do that she has helped to engender a situation in british politics where you have ditched the middle ground of

a softer exit and now we're really talking about a no deal breaker sets which would be incredibly harmful to the economy or revoking article 50 and that's your main aim neither of these 2 options were even thought about in 2016 and now either the 2 seems inevitable mr goodwin could to resign may's departure trigger a new debate on a new referendum to avoid a no deal in the u k. well thank you for having me i think mrs mays the show will inevitably see the conservative party move toward a hard decision the right 6 and will increase government preparation for even though you. and i think as we get closer to the deadline in october that will inevitably. have another effect which will be to see the parliament push back against the prospect of a no deal great to see the issue would be

a vote of no confidence in the next government an easy that is when we get into a general election or 2nd record and territory i'm not 2nd referendum may well be something that has a sort of no deal becoming more meaningful break from the european union on the ballot with the facts remain or article 50 it is too early to say i think personally a general election is a little bit more likely over the long. run but we are going to see fundamental changes within the conservative party from here on let's look have a look at all the possible scenarios mark. mrs made it's failed to deliver what david cameron 100 over and then it falls on the shorter of the new prime minister to decide whether to deliver bragg's it or to go for a new deal which of these is the most likely scenario in the near future.

he quite rightly says thing which has become much less likely now is the compromise when this is made came prime minister some observers including myself thought that this did present the best opportunity of bridging the divisions in british society now in fact what mrs may did was to edge towards a part of bracks in people expected and that really caused all the trouble from that time on when she established a so-called red lines then the whole the whole debate as they became more and more all good towards the extremes. and so as things stand at the moment it is much more likely that a successor will be much more effective in brussels here than she ever was however the parliament isn't going to accept heartbroke sit and so it seems to me that this is got to be a result by some kind of consultation beyond parliament some kind of consultation with the people now if boris johnson with us talk about leadership in 10 years

later but if a certain type of person becomes leader a general election is completely unavoidable in my view and a controversial carrots and he's chosen by the conservative party as prime minister without consulting the people is going to have a very difficult time and probably will be subject to the votes of no confidence so i think at the moment with all the cards as usual certainly the ads developments what is much more likely now is what of those 2 extreme options the middle ground is really cake then jonathan are we talking here about a race that could be nasty chaotic that could have far reaching grip a cache and as for the future of the tories. if there's a great city i mean look i think that a no deal breaks it i agree with that with both my colleagues that the tory party is going to move much closer towards or no deal because that is where the tory

membership is and that after all this is that is who is going to elect the new prime minister so boris johnson or whoever it is is going to be much more relaxed about no deal than theresa may was but that words spell disaster for both the tory party and more importantly for the country and so parliament would agree step in and ensure that doesn't happen and that's why i think that a general election is likely not in the immediate short term but within that within a year but then that still isn't going to answer the question because a 2nd referendum is ultimately going to have to be the answer because the general election. is going to be so severe a broad brush approach the livery of a new parliament a new government but the british people ultimately have to decide if they want to continue with the path that they set in motion 2060 marty i mean if we look at the list of the contenders boris johnson comes up on top of the list but he's widely seen as someone who's very divisive figure is an advantage or do you think this

could be a fatal weakness well the conservative parliamentary party is unquestionably now beginning to rally around or johnson has won it and he said to me last week. fairly moderate conservative m.p.'s in marginal seats now can see that boris is probably their best chance of doing 2 days one is meeting the challenge from the break to party that we are going to see to the right the conservatives have a strong vote this weekend at winning european parliament elections and that is making a lot of people within the conservative party nurse because the great to parties winning over a lot of. committed leave voters but the 2nd facing the conservatives is that they need a leader who can be jeremy corbin now rightly or wrongly many within the parliamentary party are concluding that boris johnson is the only person with the charisma and

the sort of presence required to deliver on bump the post challenge it's what what is unsure unclear at this moment is indeed whether he can deliver on those you know there is another view which is barak's well polarized britain but he is not the same boris johnson who won the london mayor election twice in a row he is very toxic among middle class professionals and majors and ultimately we're going to have to wait and see that it gets on the ballot at the final 2 candidates and in the parliamentary party chooses final 2 then he will win the election and every membership shows that. jonathan i mean if you top the list of the survey does not this is our pick to become the next prime minister of britain because you have other candidates like jeremy hunt by to go over as to. do any of these has a chance to take over i.
