Theresa May will take over as Prime Minister tomorrow – and will be faced with the immediate challenge of heading the negotiations on Brexit. Out of the potential candidates, I personally think she is the most suitable.

Yet opposition parties are calling for a snap election! Really? Which planet do they live on?

The UK is still a member of the EU. Now the referendum result is clear, they are waiting for the UK to get on and make it happen.

That does not mean: wait until an election has taken place!

Those that voted for Brexit may not care any more about the rest of Europe, but the UK is still bound by its rules and obligations. It is now time for action, not an election!

The mistake being made here by certain opposition parties is that the electorate vote for a certain leader. Really, they don’t! They vote for the party that best reflects their wishes. The Conservatives won the last election outright – albeit with a slim majority. They kept their promise to hold a referendum, and May has reiterated that “Brexit is Brexit”.

Now is the time for the party in government to start working on that, not to hold Europe to ransom while an election campaign is held!
