Political parties in transition or disarray

After the second round of voting by Conservative MPs yesterday, the two remaining candidates are Theresa May, the Home Secretary, and Angela Leadsom, minister for energy and climate change. There will be a postal vote by Conservative party supporters to decide the outcome: the winner will become the next Prime Minister. Meanwhile, it is still uncertain whether Jeremy Corbyn will face a challenge to his leadership of the Labour party, and Nigel Farage has announced that he is stepping down as leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), which supported Brexit.
