Varadkar formally resigns as Irish PM

(21 Feb 2020) Ireland's prime minister Leo Varadkar formally resigned on Thursday, a fortnight after an election that produced no clear winner. He'll stay on as the country's caretaker prime minister until a successor is chosen. The election left three parties on roughly level pegging, with no easy route to forming a stable government. Talks among the parties have failed to make much progress since the vote, which brought a breakthrough for left-wing nationalists Sinn Fein at the expense of the two long-dominant centrist parties, Fianna Fail and Fine Gael. The two centrist parties have long shunned Sinn Fein because of its historic links to the Irish Republican Army and decades of violence in Northern Ireland.
