May told her Conservative lawmakers she would step down if her Brexit deal was finally passed by parliament at the third attempt, in a last-ditch bid to win over many of her party’s eurosceptic rebels. However, it still remains uncertain how, when or even whether the United Kingdom, the world’s fifth-biggest economy, will leave the EU. “I have heard very clearly the mood of the parliamentary party,” May told a meeting of Conservative lawmakers (MPs). The uncertainty around Britain’s most significant political and economic change since World War Two has left allies and investors aghast. If May’s deal were to pass, her office said there would be a contest to replace her after May 22, when Britain would leave the EU.
