Britain has a new Prime Minister in the person of Theresa May. She was sworn in yesterday 12 July. And she immediately appointed leading cabinet members thus:
• Chancellor: Philip Hammond
• Home Secretary: Amber Rudd
• Foreign Secretary: Boris Johnson
• Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union: David Davis
• International Trade Secretary: Liam Fox
• Defence Secretary: Michael Fallon
Yesterday 12 July, David Cameron handed over his resignation to the Queen. As a way of protocol, He advised the Queen to appoint Theresa May as the Prime Minister. And of course the Queen honoured his Advice. Later that evening May will met the Queen to be blessed amidst other things.
Margaret Thatcher became the Conservative Leader In 1975 when Labour was In power, but did not become the PM until In 1979 when the Conservative won the General elections.
Ms May as the new Conservative Leader automatically becomes the PM as Cameron lost Brexit gamble. She finishes Cameron's tenure In 2018 after which she contest for the General Elections. The true test of her popularity comes to fore after the 2018 elections.
Ms May became the Conservative Leader and by extension the new PM as a result of Cameron losing the Brexit Referendum even though May was with the *Remain* campaign.
Cameron lost simply means he wasn't popular the Majority were not with him on the *Leave* campaign.
