You want to start the timer for leaving the EU, giving you two years before the UK is out. This is a decisive move to show that you are in control of the process, and that you have no fears - it'll play well with the papers and the far right of your party.
Some MPs have concerns, wondering if it's sensible to start the timer when you don't yet know what you're trying to achieve.
What you need to do now is win over concerned MPs with your reasoned arguments and debate.

[[Start ->Intro]] <img src="http://stevebromley.com/games/primeminister/images/congratulations.jpg" width="100%" alt="Congratulations">
Congratulations! You have become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
It's slightly worrying that the previous incumbent left in some haste. It's more worrying that everyone else dropped out of the running to become Prime Minister, but regardless you are excited to begin.
[[Get started being Prime Minister->Make History]]
<img src="http://stevebromley.com/games/primeminister/images/newspapers.jpg" width="100%" alt="Newspapers">
The papers describe you glowingly, and the front pages overflow with praise for your vision.
As you sit down to the first day in office, the opportunities sprawl out in front of you. Now is your time to make history.
But first, there's the inconvenient matter of Britain's exit from the EU (Brexit) to deal with.
[[What is Brexit? -> What is Brexit]]
[[ Let's get this out of the way ->Act 1]] **What is Brexit?**
In order to prevent further defections to rival parties, the previous prime minister promised a public vote about leaving the EU. They expected a hung parliament, and that they wouldn't have to do it.
To everyone's surprise, the previous prime minister won a majority, and had to follow through with the referendum.
The country voted 52% to leave the EU. Immediately after the results were announced it became clear that there was no agreement on what was meant by 'leaving the EU', and that the advantages about doing so were fabricated. Everyone responsible for the result has left. It's up to you.
[[Sort it out->Act 1]] <span style="font-size: 120%">Act 1 : Mandarin</span>
