m.p.'s until there are just two left they will then face a postal ballot of all conservative party members and whoever wins becomes the next prime minister that person then has the tough job of uniting m.p.'s behind a break that deal which must go before the u.k. parliament by january twenty first next year and joins us now from london so long as the people there triggered this vote party what exactly are they trying to accomplish here what's what's their agenda. well they're very very much in favor of a cut in size entirely with the european union and the not a majority by any means in the conservative policy they're seen as a bit of a puritanical rump but they're the people certainly who have who forced this in the first place right now to resume a speaking to what's called a nine hundred twenty two committee which is effectively grouping of rank and file can serve in peace on the whose opinions her have her future council one assumes that she'll be saying to them effectively what she said a prime minister's questions earlier on which is that if they bring her down and bring in one of th

more bragg's it specifically the leadership crisis in the conservative party what happens next well all three hundred fifteen conservative party m.p.'s in the house of commons are eligible to take part in this vote of confidence in to resume its leadership she needs a simple majority to win that means one hundred fifty eight votes if all m.p.'s if she doesn't win sorry if she does very clear she remains in office she cannot be challenge for another twelve months but if she loses she has to resign and she can't join the leadership race and the vote to replace mrs may if there are more than two contenders a secret vote would be held amongst tory m.p.'s and the two remaining contenders would then face a postal ballot of all conservative party members of this could go on for quite some time whoever takes charge of the party will become the next prime minister but won't necessarily face a general election we heard from john ashmore deputy editor of the british online news website capek's who says a change of leader isn't guaranteed to resolve the concerns around brags that. i don't see a clear path at the moment for her to get her deal

m.p.'s in our own party this was a moment laying out her credentials for two years she's served as an m.p. of the conservative party working her way through various offices of state always serving the national interest she said her primary and passionate belief is in delivering a deal that honors the outcome of that referendum in june a deal is attainable she said that points to a bright future and it is she said with a. our grasp anything less than that leadership contest now he's only in the interests of jeremy corbyn and the labor party that is now the ultimate threat she is offering not just to the country but to her own party keep me in office we will work together we will work with the e.u. she says that a tweak of that deal is now in the works and possible kick me out she says there isn't enough time for a new deal to be wrought article fifty would have to be extended buying more time that's something that a lot of people who believe in britain are dead against and in the end the only beneficiaries would be the opposition so to reason maybe they're absolutely steadfast she's going to fight this and she

m.p.'s until there are just two left they will then face a postal ballot of all conservative party members and whoever wins becomes the next prime minister and that person then has a tough job of uniting m.p.'s behind a bracks a deal which must go before the u.k. parliament by january the twenty first next year. is that lifers outside the houses of parliament as an orange say although it's due to be a secret ballot a lot of m.p.'s have been stating their intentions how's it looking for treason they have well yeah and if you believe what they say on twitter and all these places then probably she's going to win though obviously everybody keeps reminding you that it's a secret ballot since people might not be telling the truth of the much change their minds anyway let's have a word with alex dean from inside the conservative companies a former advisor to the bone for mr cameron because of the commentator you think she's going to make it i think it's very likely the prime minister will win as you rightly say it secret ballot and saying you're going to vote for the prime minister doesn't necess

conservative party votes this evening questions than answers those bricks and dominic thanks very much ok let's take a closer look now at how the leadership vote will stack up all three hundred fifteen conservative party m.p.'s in the house of commons up. eligible to take partner mrs may needs a simple majority to win that means one hundred fifty eight votes if all m.p.'s take part if she does win she will remain in office and cannot be challenged for another twelve months if however she loses she'll have to resign and she cannot join the leadership race to replace herself if the vote to replace her if there are more than two contenders a secret vote will be held among conservative m.p.'s the two remaining contenders will then face a postal ballot of all conservative party members whoever takes charge if it comes to it of the party will become the next prime minister but they won't necessarily face a general election. policy analyst with local europe an online news service he joins us now live from london julia do you think she's means going to pull it off or not . i think that's right now it's looking like theresa may pull it off as we've reported we believe that we can believe that theresa may have the

m.p.'s from all parties say it's a disaster a furred of conservative party m.p.'s voted against her in a confidence vote last week but she survived she's delayed the final parliamentary vote by m.p.'s to accept or reject the deal until the middle of next month where the government now says it's ramping up emergency preparations for no deal at all. now the barber joins us now live from london so expecting some questions and answer time in parliament what can we expect from that interview. well it's certainly expected to be a roundy the key thing to remember is that the meaningful votes on sarees amaze withdrawal agreement which she still think she can get some movement on from the european union won't happen until the week of the fourteenth of january and a lot of her own party worried about that let alone the opposition on tuesday her cabinet did agree to speed up preparations for a no deal breck sits in the case that the u.k. were to leave the european union at the end of next march without a deal being passed through parliament and it's an extremely likely that

m.p.'s does risk derailing the brics a process. a change of leadership in the conservative party now will put our country's future at risk and create uncertainty when we can least afford it. a new leader wouldn't be in place by the twenty first of january legal deadline so a leadership election risks handing control of the bricks in negotiations to opposition m.p.'s in parliament the new leader wouldn't have time to renegotiate a withdrawal agreement and get the legislation through parliament by the twenty ninth of march so one of their first acts would have to be extending or rescinding article fifty delaying or even stopping breck's it we have two correspondents covering the story in a moment we'll speak to dominic cain in brussels on the reaction from european leaders first let's go to john a whole who's in london so journal she's found her line basically if you get rid of me you will have possibly prime minister corgan running backs it. what world or possibly no breaks it at all yes though those seem to be the two stark options she has presented at least to the country speaki
