Three women heads of government

Dear Editor,

Britain has got a new Prime Minister. She is Mrs Theresa May who is the second female Prime Minister of Britain. The first was Mrs Margaret Thatcher who was popularly known as the ‘Iron Lady’ because of the tough stance she took against striking mine workers.

Mrs May replaced Mr David Cameron who resigned following the decision by Britain by way of a referendum to exit the European Union. It is sad to see Mr Cameron depart the way he did, but I think he did the honourable thing having regard to his strong and passionate advocacy for Britain to remain in the EU.

With Mrs May at the helm of British politics and the more than likely election of Mrs Hilary Clinton as President of the United States this coming November, women will be in the driver’s seat in three of the world’s largest and most powerful economies, the other being Germany which also has a female head in the person of Mrs Angela Merkel.

Congratulations to Prime Minister Theresa May and best wishes to her in her new role as Prime Minister.

Yours faithfully,

Hydar Ally
