British Prime Minister, Theresa May, has received the permission of Queen Elizabeth II to put together a minority government.
According to the formalities of the British system, May was on Friday driven to Downing Street to Buckingham Palace to ask Queen Elizabeth for permission to form a government.
After receiving the necessary permission to form a cabinet, she said: “As we’re the party that won the most seats and most votes we are the only party in a position to form a government.
“The key finance, foreign, Brexit, interior and defense ministers would remain unchanged.
“We would be backed by a small Northern Irish party after we lost an election gamble days before launching talks on Britain’s departure from the European Union.”
May had entered the snap election confident of increasing her Conservative Party’s majority to strengthen her hand in the Brexit talks, instead, her authority was diminished.
She now risks more opposition to her Brexit plans from inside and outside her party. Some colleagues may be lining up to replace her, if she fails to pull the plan through.
