May

Cards (4)

  • May reshuffled the Cabinet on her first day of being PM after Cameron's resignation
  • The key issue May had to deal with was Brexit and created the Brexit, international trade, business, and energy and industry departments
  • May had a strong command before 2017, but lost her majority in the 2017 election and faced severals calls for a vote of no confidence from Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn but she survived them all. Despite this, she resigned in 2019, with the public opinion against her
  • May was heavily criticised in the media and was judged first as a woman rather than as a PM. She was a contradiction of gendered mediation but she made no effort to improve her media presence as it couldn't have been helped. The Grenfell and Windrush scandals also tainted her leadership as Brexit overshadowed other issues and the negligence of these scandals alienated those affected
