Prime Ministers since 2020 in Europe - UK vs Others

[vaud]

Yah the UK is no longer the leader... (Lecornu has just resigned after one month and only one day after he announced his cabinet).

Lasted 26 days, so beaten Liz Truss' 49 days...

[tribalsurfer]

France only have 5 listed, for completeness the 6th was Michel Barnier with his 100 day tenure.

[Digga]

French PM just resigned after 24hrs.

The one thing we were European leaders at and the bloody French come along and steal it from under us.

Sack Keir, it's coming home.

On a serious note which country is leading home soil terrorist attacks ?

Meloni only has to survive another year to become the longest running Italian PM since the second world war!

No absolute majority in the French parliament so not a great comparison as the last 3 prime ministers were doomed anyway, like the next one.

Shouldn't be a problem

Was in Rome for a week not long ago and she's very popular and doing a great job

Self inflicted problem by Macron due to his idiocy last summer.... was rather always going to be a stshow afterwards. Not that I guess. at this point. he cares as he can't run for president again so he might as well leave as poisoned a chalice as possible for whoever taking over. And especially so if it's Le Pen's bunch....

Sorry, yes, Barnier is missing. Lecornu just resigned.

There seems to be little desire to fully grasp the nettle there. As you say, it most definitely is a poison chalice, because even to mention cuts in spending will have the roads barricaded.

My French colleague suggested a yoghurt as having a shelf life of 26 days. Or a ripe Brie.
