Didn't he resign?
- He announced he'll resign as Liberal leader as soon as the Liberals choose a new leader. That could take weeks or months.
- Once his party picks a new leader, yes.
  
  Whatever happened to the good old days where rulers would simply abdicate their position and plunge their land into chaos 😡
  
  An interim leader could have been chosen but it would have been disastrous at this point in time.
  We also have a very different political system compared to the US.
