While we await what is likely to be the coronation of Andy Burnham, we might wonder how it is that in the ten years since the Brexit vote were about to have in the UK our seventh PM... that one every 20 months (on average, some lasted a little less, some a bit longer)?

There are a range of reasons, perhaps most importantly rebellious (impatient) MPs, but it also a job that is difficult to succeed at when the underlying political economic conditions in the UK are so 'challenging'!

@ChrisMayLA6 Hmm, it’s almost as if the political machine simply no longer has the skills to do its job, isn’t it? Are we entering the post politics phase of civilisation? It already seems policy is determined, or should that perhaps be dictated by, mega corps, anyway. (Edited to add dictated by)
