if i counted right (and some days that's not necessarily a 'given')..

the next will be the 81st prime minister since 1721; and more than likely, the 59th person to hold that office.

the last FIVE prime ministers didn't reach 5 years. the longest serving was Theresa Fucking May.

there's currently 8 (soon to be NINE) living former prime ministers. That's fucking ridiculous. If they actually served 5 years each, that would have taken 45 bloody years, and you'd think some of them would have died by then.

This means being prime minister is a rather achievable goal now. Anyone could make it.

Count Binface is looking more and more realistic every day, we don't know his real name after all! (it's not pronouncable by human physiology anyways)
