Things happened so quickly, the last 48 hours. He's resigned as party leader, so a new person can be picked, and then he will stop being prime minister when that person is in place. Amazing how things snowballed.

I have no idea who the new prime minister will be. I suppose there are lots of senior Conservatives who might get it, but who knows? Priti Patel, Rishi Sunak, Michael Gove, Jacob Rees-Mogg, and others. I don't think there's any clear front-runner.

To be fair, he really was VERY resilient when it came to surviving scandals. Are you kidding? He could've avoided quitting as prime minister.

I feel like most democracies don't vote directly for their head of state, but maybe I'm wrong.

That's how most parliamentary democracies work

Correct. People vote for their MP here, which determines which party wins. And then supporters of that party decide who they want to lead it and be PM

Yes, the party chooses the leader and then everyone else votes for the party. The party can also decide they dont like the leader anymore and replace them with someone else as Prime Minister. Thats what kept happening in Australia until recently

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

That he made people lie about a sexual predator.

They were 100% fine with said sexual predator, they just didn't like having to say they didn't know.

Because they did

And they support said sexual predator.
