Home Secretary Theresa May is set to lead Britain from Wednesday after the ruling Conservative Party elected her to succeed Prime Minister David Cameron as party leader, according to dpa. "I am honoured and humbled to have been chosen by the Conservative Party to become its leader," May said on Monday after she emerged from parliament to cheers and applause from dozens of Conservative colleagues. She said Britain needs a "vision of a country that works for every one of us," after last month's Brexit referendum exposed social, economic and political divisions. "Brexit means Brexit and we are going to make a success of it," said May, who had backed Cameron's Remain campaign before the referendum. Cameron said he plans to meet his cabinet on Tuesday and take prime minister's questions for the last time on Wednesday before visiting Queen Elizabeth II to formally offer his resignation.
