]]> Theresa May’s Majority Becomes A Minority https://teachingkidsnews.com/2017/06/12/theresa-mays-majority-becomes-minority/ https://teachingkidsnews.com/2017/06/12/theresa-mays-majority-becomes-minority/#comments Mon, 12 Jun 2017 10:52:25 +0000 https://teachingkidsnews.com/?p=16272 The British Prime Minister may be regretting her decision to call an early election.
Theresa May and her political party, the Conservative Party, were the leaders in the UK (United Kingdom). They had a “majority” government. (In other words, they had more “seats”—or representatives—in the House of Commons than all of the other political parties, combined.) That’s important, because having a majority means that you can really get things done—you won’t be voted down by the other parties. May hoped that by holding an election, she could expand her majority even more.
However, things didn’t go as she planned.

The European Union is a group of 28 countries in Europe that have agreed to co-operate—to all become one group, in many ways. For instance, people in European Union countries can travel, live and work easily in any other EU country. And businesses that are in the European Union can send products back and forth more easily. Nineteen of the EU countries all use the same money--the Euro.
On Thursday, June 23 there was a very important vote.
