    He is probably stepping down now to make it harder for the opposition parties to coordinate their efforts before an early election. From everything I read they were making lots of progress forming a strong pro-EU block but still face some challenges and not all parties that would be needed were fully on board yet.

    Let’s hope they work better under pressure and get their campaign coordinated.
