Jeremy Corbyn: The Next Prime Minister of England Must Call an Election


This report was published on YouTube on May 24.

Global News: Britain's opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said on Friday that Theresa May was right to resign as prime minister and whoever replaced her as leader of the Conservative Party must call an election. 

"She clearly cannot command a majority in parliament. She clearly has lost the confidence of her own MPs," Corbyn said, adding that the first thing the next prime minister should do is to call a general election. 

May announced on Friday morning that she would resign on June 7, saying it was a matter of "deep regret" that she had not delivered Brexit. 

Her departure will trigger a contest that will bring a new leader to power who is likely to push for a more decisive Brexit divorce deal.
