This refers to the editorial, “After Thatcher, Theresa” (July 15). That Theresa May was seen as an unlikely choice for the Prime Minister's post but managed to overcome the aspirations of contenders — Boris Johnson and Michael Gove — reveals that the lady is here to stay. May’s administrative acumen as the Home Secretary will hold her in good stead in perhaps one of the toughest times to assume office. Surprisingly, she has appointed Johnson as the Foreign Secretary, indicating that the latter's expertise as a solid backer of the UK's exit from the European Union will be utilised to the hilt.
Known for her conflicting stands on various issues plaguing the UK society like gay rights, political analysts of the UK have little doubts in May's ability to steer the UK through troubled and turbulent times. May has the tough task to prevent the erosion of the charming city — london. Of course, it goes without saying that uniting a divided Conservative Party will always be on her mind.
