May Says Brexit Could Right Wrongs

Prime Minister Theresa May told a Conservative Party conference that the vote to leave the European Union had been a call for a "change in the way our country works, and the people for whom it works."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Theresa May, British Prime Minister:“So today I want to set out my plans for a Britain where everyone plays by the same rules, and every person has the opportunity to be all they want to be. If the plan to tackle the unfairness and injustice that divides us, so that we may build a new United Britain, rooted in the centre ground. A plan that will mean government stepping up, righting wrongs, challenging vested interests, taking big decisions, doing what we believe to be right, getting the job done because that’s the good that government can do and that’s what I’m in this for, to stand up for the weak and to stand up to the strong.”SOUNDBITE: (English) Theresa May, British Prime Minister: For the referendum was not just a vote to withdraw from the EU, it was about something broader, something that the European Union had come to represent. It was about a sense, deep, profound and let’s face it, often justified that many people have today that the world works well for a privileged few but not for them. It was a vote not just to change Britain’s relationship with the European Union but to call for a change in the way our country works and the people for whom it works. Forever.”
