Theresa May <br />Survives Confidence Vote The British Prime Minister <br />won the vote of confidence <br />as leader of the Conservative <br />Party by 200 to 117. This means that <br />her position as Prime <br />Minister is secure for a year. The confidence <br />vote was triggered by <br />48 members of her own party. Those members feel that the <br />Brexit deal May has negotiated <br />with the E.U. is a betrayal of the <br />spirit of the 2016 U.K. referendum. Speaking <br />after the vote, Tory members of parliament <br />called it "devastating" that <br />she lost the support <br />of a third of her party. May vowed to deliver the <br />Brexit vote that the "people <br />had voted for" and to bring <br />the "country back together."
