Opposition parties call for a general election as May prepares for No 10

Opposition parties in the UK are calling for a snap general election as current prime minister David Cameron prepares to hand over the top job to Home Secretary Theresa May. 

Mrs May won the leadership of the Conservative Party and therefore the role of prime minister, after challenger Andrea Leadsom withdrew from the race Monday.   The party has seen a period of bitter in-fighting following the Brexit vote to leave the European Union. 

In 2007 when Labour's Gordon Brown took over as PM from Tony Blair, Theresa May said the country should have an election to ensure Mr Brown had a mandate, however she has said there will not be an election until the next one,  due in 2020.  

Tim Farron, leader of the opposition Liberal Democrats told LBC radio it would be better to let the country judge whether Mrs May should be the next Prime Minister.
