"MayExit"! | Conservative and Unionist Party is already preparing the successor of Theresa May.

Theresa May is under intense pressure to resign due to the difficulty in presenting a satisfactory plan to get the UK out of the EU.

That pressure has worsened, according to the British newspaper "The Times", which writes that the British prime minister is to leave the number 10 Downing Street this Friday (24th of May).

This publication also cites conservative sources close to Theresa May, after another resignation from the London executive, this time from Parliamentary Affairs Minister Andrea Leadsom, Euroskeptic and pro-Brexit.

Theresa May has agreed to meet with the Conservative and Unionist Party chairman this Friday to discuss her future.

With the resignation in sight, these are the main candidates for May's place::

Boris Johnson

The face of the official campaign to leave the European Union resigned as foreign minister in July in protest of the conditions that Theresa May presented. Last week, the former minister admitted that he will apply for May's position if that place is left open.

Michael Gove

Gove, one of Brexit's most visible supporters during the 2016 referendum, had to rebuild his career after losing to May. Seen as one of the cabinet's most effective members in presenting new policies, the Environment Minister has become an ally to Theresa May, always backing her strategies.

Kit Malthouse

Malthouse became a member of parliament in 2015. He is a junior housing minister and helped to create the so-called Malthouse Compromise Plan. The Sun newspaper claims that he is already preparing a campaign team.

Esther Mcvey

The former** Labor and Pensions Minister resigned in November in protest** of May´s deal with the EU. In an interview, Mcvey has already admitted that she is planning to enter the race for the job.

Andrea Leadsom

The latest resignation of the Government of Theresa May also has the position under the eye. The pro-Brexit activist went head-to-head with Cameron in 2016 for the position of head of the Government.

Dominic Raab

Raab left May's government in May of last year in protest of the exit agreement saying it did not live up to the Conservative party's promises in the 2017 election. Raab served only five months as head of the Brexit department. When asked if he would apply for May's position, Raab said "Never say never".

Jeremy Hunt

Hunt took Johnson's position as Foreign Minister in July and urged Conservative members to put aside their disagreements over Brexit and unite against a common enemy: the EU. When asked if he intends to run for office, Hunt replied, "Wait and see".
