The U.K. leader has offered her future resignation in an apparent exchange for support of her Brexit deal.
British Prime Minister Theresa May has announced she will step down as the leader of the United Kingdom if her Brexit deal finally secures a majority in parliament, allowing a successor to take the lead on future negotiations with the European Union.
May's timetabled departure is seen as key for securing a switch in votes from the right-wing Euroskeptic element in her party who want a different leader to take the reins for the next stage of negotiations with Europe. May's premiership has lasted nearly three years after she won the race to succeed David Cameron, becoming the U.K.'s second female leader, after Margaret Thatcher.
