Piggy dissuades Ralph for two main reasons. First of all, Piggy and Ralph need each other - they are, along with Simon, are the only ones who look at their situation from a mature perspective. The other boys are only interested in playing and hunting whereas Ralph and Piggy want to do everything they can to be rescued.
Also, Ralph is the only one who accepts Piggy. If Ralph stepped down from his position, Piggy would be at the mercy of all the other boys and would have no protection whatsoever.
