…As
Theresa May Vows To Be “One Nation” Prime Minister
Theresa May has become Britain's new
prime minister Wednesday after meeting with Queen
Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace.
May, former home secretary, is Britain’s second female
prime minister after Margaret
Thatcher , who ran the country between 1979 and 1990. She is expected
to announce members of her cabinet Wednesday evening.
In a speech outside 10 Downing St., May said she followed
in the footsteps of "a great modern prime minister."
"David
Cameron has led a one nation
government and it is in that spirit that I also plan to lead,"
May said.
She said her party believed in the "precious, precious
bond" between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
"It means we believe in a union not just between the
nations of the United Kingdom but between all of our citizens — every one
of us — whoever we are and wherever we’re from," she
said. "As we leave the European
Union we will forge a
bold new positive role for ourselves in the world and we will make Britain a
country that works not for a privileged few but for every one of us."
Before entering the building with her husband Philip, she
said, "Together we will build a better Britain."
