Will Tammam Salam leave the office of Prime Minister of Lebanon before the end of 2015?
Yes: 30%
(A temporary exit from office would not count for this question)
There are currently widespread protests going in Lebanon over the lack of trash collection (see story here). Lebanon has been without a (non-acting) President for more than a year, and is currently ruled by a unity government led by Tammam Salam. Some of the protesters have called for Salam's resignation, and he has hinted that he may resign if the crisis is not resolved.
I think that Salam will stay in power, at least for the remainder of the year. His term lasts until 2017, and the current protests seem to fit in with a pattern of instability that has been going on for several years. The current protests don't seem to be severe enough to bring down the government.
