British Prime Minister faces the risk of being impeached after a vote of no confidence

British Prime Minister Theresa May is facing the risk of being impeached after 40 members of Parliament unanimously signed a joint letter expressing no confidence in her.

Disagreements within the ruling Conservative Party and the British Parliament take place in the context of negotiations on Britain's exit from the European Union being slow and with little progress.

Dozens of Conservative MPs are joining supporters in calling for the Prime Minister to be removed from office, according to the Sunday Times. If eight more MPs sign the letter, it will trigger a vote of no confidence, with the possibility of May being removed and replaced by another Conservative leader. It also comes after a week of turmoil in the UK government, with the departures of Defence Secretary Michael Fallon and Humanitarian Affairs Secretary Priti Patel.

Prime Minister May is struggling to maintain her credibility within her ruling Conservative Party, since the early election on June 8, when her party lost its majority in Parliament. Currently, MPs in the Party are also facing divisions regarding the Brexit bill, which officially sets the time for Britain to leave the EU at 11 pm on March 29, 2019. Pro-EU MPs immediately objected, saying that the Government's additional clause in the EU Bill will "tie the hands" of the UK and could hinder reaching a favorable agreement in case more time is needed for negotiations. The British Prime Minister warned that she would not accept any attempts to "stop or delay" Brexit by preventing the bill from passing in Parliament.

Despite such pressure, Brexit Secretary David Dayvis still denied that the government was facing a crisis: "Prime Minister Theresa May will continue to lead the UK through the Brexit process. I am absolutely confident in her ability to steer the UK through its difficulties."

With divisions within the UK, observers believe that a breakthrough in Brexit negotiations will be an advantage to help her overcome the current crisis. There are currently many expectations that the British Prime Minister can make progress in Brexit negotiations, then put forward budget proposals and possibly continue to reform the Cabinet. This can help her stay in office and overcome the crisis. However, there are many obstacles that make it difficult for the Prime Minister to achieve these goals.

With the Conservative Party not having a majority in parliament, the government will have difficulty passing Brexit laws. Meanwhile, the latest round of Brexit negotiations last week also did not produce any concrete results, forcing European negotiators to issue an ultimatum asking the UK within 2 weeks to make concessions on the "divorce" agreement if it wants to move to the next stage of negotiations in December. With the problems that the British Prime Minister is facing, it is not too difficult to understand when European leaders declare that they are preparing for the collapse of the British government in the next few months.

However, observers say it is not yet time for parties to want Prime Minister Theresa May to leave office. Those who want to quickly leave the EU are concerned that the entire Brexit process will be derailed if Theresa May is removed from office. Meanwhile, those who voted to remain in the EU also believe that a vote to change party leadership will almost certainly go to a candidate who wants Britain to quickly leave the EU.

There is also no agreement within the party on who will succeed Prime Minister Theresa May, while future candidates are in no rush to take over an unstable government with a difficult Brexit process./.
