In Britain, Theresa May is becoming the prime minister today as David Cameron tenders his resignation at Buckingham Palace. This comes less than a month after Britain shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union—a move strongly opposed by Cameron. He announced within hours of the referendum that he would resign by October, although it had been expected he would stay in power at least through the summer. Theresa May becomes the second woman to serve as prime minister in British history. She has served as the home secretary since 2010. As a Parliament member, she supported the war in Iraq, and she voted to deploy British troops to Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq and Syria. This past May, she voted in favor of repealing Britain’s Human Rights Act. She has, however, worked to fight police corruption and has challenged the British police’s policy of “stop and search,” which is similar to “stop and frisk” in the United States. Meanwhile, Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has been assured of a place on the ballot in upcoming party leadership elections after surviving a coup waged by more conservative members of the Labour Party.
