[quote=moneymaker]Why does the prime minister have to resign. That part I don’t get,seems like he should stay when they need him the most.[/quote]
He doesn’t have to resign but he felt it was the thing to do. I suppose one could view it as a vote of no confidence since he campaigned hard for the remain vote. At a minimum he didn’t want to lead the UK though the exit process. In some respects it seems like British politicians respect the will of the people more so than the US politicians, but that’s just IMO.
