What is it that allows the UK prime minsters to resign so often? In the US resignations for the presidency almost never happen, but I hear about it a lot in the UK.
In:
It’s only happening a lot at the moment because a referendum was held whether to see if the UK wanted to leave Europe, if you look at the results the majority of the UK voted leave and London (obviously where all the main business is) voted to remain.
The PM at the time of the vote was David Cameron, he didn’t like the result so he resigned and Theresa May then his successor. She has then resigned because where the MPs vote on her deal with the EU and because most of the MPs wanted to remain they’ve all said they don’t like her deal with Europe so they can delay the exit and drag their heels.
The term of length is at her majesty’s pleasure but the elected position is usually held for 5 years.
