British Prime Minister Teresa Mai is under pressure from her conservative party to set a date for her resignation after being accused of mismanaging Britain's exit from the European Union (BRIC), which has hurt the Conservatives.
May agreed to the request of the parliamentary bloc of the Conservative Party in the House of Commons (parliament) to hold a meeting with them next Wednesday to discuss the issue of stepping down.
Conservative Party leader Graham Breedy said on Saturday he expected May to make clear during the planned mass meeting the timetable for her resignation.
Predy predicted that talks between the government and the opposition Labor Party would break down to reach a settlement on a possible exit agreement.
Mae had previously pledged to resign after the adoption of the Brixat agreement in parliament, but it is not certain to reach an agreement despite the deadline set by the postponement of Britain's exit from the European Union to October next March instead of last March.
Calls for May to step down after the Conservative Party's retreat in local elections on May 2 have intensified. The party lost several local councils and more than a thousand seats in the poll, in which British conservative voters punished the predicament of the BRICEST process.
It is expected that former Foreign Minister Boris Johnson will succeed Teresa Mae at the head of the Conservative Party and then prime minister.
