LONDON (AP) -- The Latest on Britain's vote to leave the European Union (all times local):
4:25 p.m.
Conservative lawmakers have chosen Home Secretary Theresa May and Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom to fight a runoff contest for leadership of Britain's governing party. The winner will become the country's second female prime minister.

I presume that both of these lady's backgrounds will show love of country and and no past criminality.
Must be nice.
Leadsom has the conservative credentials, IMO
Good, but why does it deserve all caps?
I say good. Maybe not good for the Mouth Breathing "Life of Julia" Masses.
But it sounds like she must have good character then.
I dare say the last lady Prime Minister worked out rather nicely.
Hope they’re better than the East German.
CAPS is in the AP article.
Wow, that’s never happened before.
All Caps are bad. I once heard a gangster say “I’ll bust all cap in yo ass!”
No fair.
G.B. will get a woman with morality and intelligence.
We most probably will get the most loathsome piece of humanity (closely resembling, but not really a female) in the history of the multiverse.
Please, G.B. if you get Andrea, take us back.
As for Hillary, please, please, PLEASE hang the b*tch.
It came over the wire that way!
Both Leadsom and May have videos on YouTube.
Both have their merits, but Leadsom had a more no nonsense matter to her speeches, as did Mssr. Farage.
You gotta believe the muzzies there won’t like this.
Harriet Jones might have done a good job.
I agree. Leadsome is totally qualified and has a sound head on her shoulders.
May supported remaining in the EU, so I don’t think she would be ideal to lead the country’s transition out. I was really hoping for more of an improvement over Cameron, but I suspect that she will end up the winner. She’s certainly much better than any Labour minister at least.
I thoroughly approve of random Doctor Who references.
Recently been hearing how things happen in the u.k. before happening in the u.s., in the same way that destructive policies are often born in Kali.
Is this just more proof that our election is already over and done with? Both these candidates are women, ergo they are more qualified than any man.
“Doesn’t she look tired?”
Boris Johnson wants Leadsome...many others want May...
I just pray that either is another Margaret Thatcher...because a Trump Presidency with that would be like Reagan and Thatcher and that sort of things brings down communism and other bad isms around the world!
