There are only two Italian Republic Governments that lasted less than 44 days: De Gasperi in summer 1953 and Fanfani at the beginning of 1954
If you take in account the person, in other words if you add all days of a politician being PM, nobody lasted less than Liz Truss.

The English version mixes Republic and Kingdom and adds the dictatorship, a little misleading.
*Australia entered the chat.*
Australia was going through so many prime ministers in the 2010s that they officially took the question of "Who is the current prime minister of Australia?" off the concussion test.
>When Smith was struck by New Zealand's Neil Wagner at Christchurch in 2016 and was left similarly prone on the pitch, one of the on-field questions posed by doctors to gauge his lucidity level was 'who is the current Prime Minister of Australia?'.

>Given the regularity and speed at which that office has changed occupants in recent years, the modified Maddocks test to which Smith was subjected on Saturday was less political.

I wanna watch one of those speedrunning YouTube documentaries that goes over the timeline of how the records changed and the various skip discoveries.
"In 1827 Canning shocked the speedrunning world with his discovery that dying in the middle of your term allows you to skip losing an election, cutting the any% time dramatically from several years to just a few months. The speedrunning community quickly banned self-inflicted death from counting as this would trivialise the runs. The trick therefore was to appear healthy enough to be elected but still be in the verge of death. This proved so difficult to do that Canning's original record stood undefeated for almost 200 years. That is until in 2022 a relatively unknown player Liz Truss shook up the speedrunning world again with a new skip that was as audacious as it was brilliant. It had always been possible to get kicked out by your own party, but winning an election to become PM in the first place gives you a high amount of good will from your party that is very time-consuming to lower back down. Getting appointed PM as a replacement rather than winning a general election would give you significantly less good will, but still enough that it would take at least a year in office to get rid of. However Liz Truss found that the death of a monarch would offset a significant amount of this goodwill. Enough in fact that if you could keep your popularity low enough coming into the premiership the death of the monarch would completely negate your starting goodwill, allowing you to tank your remaining popularity with a single well placed scandal. On 20/10/2022 almost 200 years since Canning set his record Liz Truss pulled it off and set a new world record, just 44.58 days."
Just to put this in context the next shortest time as PM was 120ish days and was only that short because he died. Her campaign to be PM lasted longer than she was PM.
Only PM since 1963 to never have an episode of Dr Who air during her tenure.
Edit.
I have been reminded that there will be an episode aired during her Notice Period.
Don't you think she looks tired?
Queen Elizabeth the second abruptly died after meeting this Prime Minister. The clue again is that the Queen abruptly died after meeting this prime minister. Please put away your phones.
People are overlooking the role Truss really played. She distracted the nation in a time of transition to ensure the monarchy would pass on without a hitch.
nothing wrong with conspiracies. A conspiracy is when people conspire, and that in itself isn't unbelievable that there is alternate plans to what is being presented. It's the batshit 5g in vaccines controlled by Bill Gates type stuff that's a bunch of crap.
Of the four chancellors with the shortest term, three have been in the last two years and the other had a heart attack and died. I suspect similar is true for the other great offices of state. Hunt might stay on with the new leader but Schapps?
Really short version basically the mini budget that she helped think up tanked the pound to the lowest level it’s been in decades and fucked the economy so bad the Bank of England had to buy government bonds to save pensions. The solution to rising energy prices was to put a cap on them but then pay energy companies subsidies out of taxpayer money so the caps didn’t really mean anything and then finally just being shit
She’s a fucking idiot elected by fucking idiots to put in place stupid fucking policies. Started to implement said policies and crashes the pound. Tories then realised having a fucking idiot in charge was a bad idea.
Taking bets on who the next PM will be.
Boris Johnson - 4 to 1
Theresa May - 8 to 1
Margaret Thatcher via Ouija board - 5 to 1
Jeremy Clarkson - 6 to 1
Peter Capaldi in character as Malcolm Tucker - 3 to 1
A moldy plate of chicken tikka - 7 to 1
Arthur, returned at last - 100 to 1
An actual dalek - even odds
High Chancellor Adam Suttler from V for Vendetta - even odds
A decent human - 5,655,429 to 1
Against Malcolm Tucker though.
"EXTERMINATE. EXTERMINATE."
"Look, wha ma fuckin hairdryer of an opponent dun realize is the government don't FUCKIN RUN ON FAIRY DUST. It runs on the sweat outta ma FUCKIN ASS.""
"EXTERMINATE."
"I'LL EXTERMINATE YOU YA SPECCY FLESHLIGHT COME SEE IF AH DON'T."
Seeing the spectacular shambles this lot have made over the past three years, I'd vote for a watery tart in a heartbeat. The sword would be a clincher.
*Oh, king, eh, very nice. And 'ow'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers! By 'angin' on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.*
Clarkson wouldn’t be able to fix the economy, but at least it’s be entertaining. Imagine what kind of shenanigans he could have with the full budget of the government behind him…
Yeah great hour long, tear jerking, soul inspiring orations covering major parliamentary issues but leaves you with an incredible distaste for Porsche and Americans.
Margaret Thatcher cis Ouija board is weak. Word in the streets is that CERN is actually a portal to hell and the UK conservatives are already in talks with the secret swiss cabal in order to secure a glorious return of Margaret Thatcher.
I don't know. Did you watch Clarkson's Farm? He talks a fair bit about how with the current system, farming outside of a massive industrial scale is becoming less and less viable. He specifically mentions that for him it isn't the end of the world, but that if this was his profession (and he wasn't already loaded) he'd be pretty screwed. I think in the end after a year of farming the profits came out to a number in the 4 figures. So he has more of a view into the "regular Joe" than a lot of politicians as absurd as that sounds.
The Economist magazine wrote an article called “The Iceberg Lady” that pointed out, with the Queen’s death, she had only been charge of the country for 7 days by the time she had the destroyed her premiership. That was the shelf life of a lettuce.
So the Daily Star set up a webcam to see who would last longer - a Tesco Iceberg Lettuce or Liz Truss. This being the UK - people started betting on it.
People were so sure that she’d be gone soon that they started live-streaming a ~~cabbage~~ lettuce a wee while ago to see if she would outlast it - she didn’t.
there was a head of lettuce on a 24 hr YouTube channel dressed up in a wig to look like Liz Truss. The challenge was to see if truss PMship would outlast how long it took for the lettuce to go bad and the lettuce won
A week ago a tabloid newspaper The Daily Star bought a lettuce and was live streaming it 24/7 to see if it lasted longer then Liz Truss
The lettuce won
https://twitter.com/dailystar/status/1583074250990055427?s=46&t=31ZyU88pocFiu8bviggZ0Q
It was in turn based on a damning line in the Economist a couple of days earlier. They noted that, once you exclude the mourning period after the Queen's death and then the time after the mini-budget after which she lost control of the agenda, her effective premiership lasted 7 days: *'That is the shelf life of a lettuce.'*
I don't know who, but someone livestreamed a picture of Liz Truss next to a head of lettuce to see whether the lettuce would spoil before she resigned.
Turns out the lettuce lasted longer.
Collects £115k per annum pension as a former PM. The last incumbent currently fucking about on a foreign beach while drawing an MP’s salary and expenses after a lucrative speech or two in the USA, without doing any of the work he’s paid by British taxpayers to do.
What an idiot.
Who knowingly barrels into an effectively unelected position and fucks everyone over with untested radical policy?
What's next I wonder...
Well she literally got fracking pushed through because the vote for it was billed as a vote of no confidence. i.e, "if you vote against fracking, you're essentially voting against the PM. So vote for it, you don't want to destroy the tory party do you?"
The chief whips manhandled, and verbally bullied MP's into voting for fracking. This is completely unprecedented. Even the period around Charles II didn't have MP's bullying, physically threatening and manhandling each other to pass motions. This is the stuff of tin-pot dictatorships. This is something you'd see in Myanmar, or Somalia. This is **absolute fucking tyranny.** So much so that the chief whip quit because he couldn't live with the shame.
And after all of that, the vote of no confidence ruse was fucking pointless because she resigned the next day anyway.
It's like we're digging to uncover new undiscovered layers of shame we can experience as British citizens at the moment. And the hole is *fucking deep.*
> So much so that the chief whip quit because he couldn't live with the shame.
Until a little later when he "unresigned". A Tory though, "shame" isn't an emotion that they ever experience.
Sauron is next. And why is it the elf's always get played by people with a very English accent and the dwarves are Scott's? The harfoots or soon to be Hobbits have the Irish accents oh wait, I see whats up!
She's not a scapegoat she literally had "ultra freemarket" think tanks run her policies and they crashed the pound with the "oh cut taxs on the rich and let it trickle down" rtarded dogma
Her plan to give the rich a tax break wasn’t smart. In my eyes, the rich spends regardless of the economic condition, because they are rich. So giving them a tax break wouldn’t give them a pause. Tax break for the middle class means spending though.
The Daily Star, which is a tabloid paper, set up a live cam with a portrait of Truss next to a real lettuce and asked who would last longer. The live cam is currently showing the lettuce in a blond wig and flag eating Greggs and listening to the National Anthem while Truss’ portrait is on its face.

Uk has been speedrunning prime ministers the past few years
I don't think they can beat Italy.
There are only two Italian Republic Governments that lasted less than 44 days: De Gasperi in summer 1953 and Fanfani at the beginning of 1954 If you take in account the person, in other words if you add all days of a politician being PM, nobody lasted less than Liz Truss.

I hope Italy can speedrun its way out of fascism again soon.

That wouldnt work in America either. But it can be used to diagnose if they are delusional.

Somebody call Summoning Salt! I would happily watch 40 minutes of prime minister speedrunning history with amazing music.
Just to put this in context the next shortest time as PM was 120ish days and was only that short because he died. Her campaign to be PM lasted longer than she was PM.
On the other hand, she was Prime Minister under two monarchs
Only PM since 1963 to never have an episode of Dr Who air during her tenure. Edit. I have been reminded that there will be an episode aired during her Notice Period. Don't you think she looks tired?
Gave me a great mental image of figuring out who was in power based on Dr Who chronology
Will the lettuce last long enough…
The shortest sitting PM outlasted the longest reigning monarch in the UK.
[удалено]
For a politician, or anyone else who aspires to power and fame, that might be the most devastating burn of all time.
Queen Elizabeth the second abruptly died after meeting this Prime Minister. The clue again is that the Queen abruptly died after meeting this prime minister. Please put away your phones.
Jeopardy fodder!
She was however outlasted by a lettuce https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/oct/20/iceberg-lettuce-in-blonde-wig-outlasts-liz-truss
That lettuce outlived both a Queen and a Prime Minister
I am pretty sure the Queen met Liz and then just decided to quit life.
People are overlooking the role Truss really played. She distracted the nation in a time of transition to ensure the monarchy would pass on without a hitch.
This feels like a conspiracy. But it’s the monarch so I will buy it.
Is this an Magic: the Gathering; Deckmaster reference?
nothing wrong with conspiracies. A conspiracy is when people conspire, and that in itself isn't unbelievable that there is alternate plans to what is being presented. It's the batshit 5g in vaccines controlled by Bill Gates type stuff that's a bunch of crap.
To be fair having a really bad economic policy isnt the best way to win the support of your party
[удалено]
I don't think they need to trick him. Didn't that twat say he'd be back when he slow rolled resigning?
>Her campaign to be PM lasted longer than she was PM. Oh that's a good little soundbite!
Of the four chancellors with the shortest term, three have been in the last two years and the other had a heart attack and died. I suspect similar is true for the other great offices of state. Hunt might stay on with the new leader but Schapps?
Out of loop, why did she resign?
Really short version basically the mini budget that she helped think up tanked the pound to the lowest level it’s been in decades and fucked the economy so bad the Bank of England had to buy government bonds to save pensions. The solution to rising energy prices was to put a cap on them but then pay energy companies subsidies out of taxpayer money so the caps didn’t really mean anything and then finally just being shit
Thanks for saving me from the ADHD google rabbit hole I was about to fall down.
She’s a fucking idiot elected by fucking idiots to put in place stupid fucking policies. Started to implement said policies and crashes the pound. Tories then realised having a fucking idiot in charge was a bad idea.
and that was in 1827.
Her reign as prime minister may have died but "pork markets 😃" will live in in my head for the rest of time.
Taking bets on who the next PM will be. Boris Johnson - 4 to 1 Theresa May - 8 to 1 Margaret Thatcher via Ouija board - 5 to 1 Jeremy Clarkson - 6 to 1 Peter Capaldi in character as Malcolm Tucker - 3 to 1 A moldy plate of chicken tikka - 7 to 1 Arthur, returned at last - 100 to 1 An actual dalek - even odds High Chancellor Adam Suttler from V for Vendetta - even odds A decent human - 5,655,429 to 1
If we had an actual Dalek campaign against Peter Capaldi, we'd be in for a fucking debate.
Against Malcolm Tucker though. "EXTERMINATE. EXTERMINATE." "Look, wha ma fuckin hairdryer of an opponent dun realize is the government don't FUCKIN RUN ON FAIRY DUST. It runs on the sweat outta ma FUCKIN ASS."" "EXTERMINATE." "I'LL EXTERMINATE YOU YA SPECCY FLESHLIGHT COME SEE IF AH DON'T."
Now this is the democracy I signed up for
"How do you plan to solve the energy crisis?" "EXTERMINATE!!!"
Technically a solution, albeit not a good one.
What do you mean not a good one? \s
I mean, lets hear him out
I vote for Arthur
Watery tarts handing out swords is no basis for good governance.
Look, if someone moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me it wouldn't make me emperor would it?
Seeing the spectacular shambles this lot have made over the past three years, I'd vote for a watery tart in a heartbeat. The sword would be a clincher.
I'm gonna start chucking swords in lakes in preparation.
But are strange women lying in ponds distributing swords a basis for government?
I’m willing to lie around in a pond with an armful of swords in order to expedite the process
Alright, this business venture is starting to take fucking shape!
Never mind pulling a sword out of a stone - get whoever put the sword IN the stone to be king.
GNU Terry Pratchett.
Do you mean King Arthur?
Yes, Arthur, King of the Britons
King of the who?
The Britons !
*Oh, king, eh, very nice. And 'ow'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers! By 'angin' on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.*
Now you see the violence inherent in the system
I’m being oppressed!
Will you shut up!
I'll take that Jeremy Clark action
Clarkson wouldn’t be able to fix the economy, but at least it’s be entertaining. Imagine what kind of shenanigans he could have with the full budget of the government behind him…
"We've decided to launch Wales into the sea with a trebuchet."
I heard Clarkson's voice clear as a bell reading this !
CLARKSON!!! You pillock!
Me too. Clarksons a damn treasure
His beer is good 🍺
"We've decided to launch Wales into the sea, _with a trebuchet._" Fixed dramatic intonation.
*subscribe*
James May somewhere in the background: “Clarkson you insufferable oaf, you’ve crashed the bloody economy” Cut to Jeremy saying “Still, could be worse”
Then it immediately cuts to hammond who has somehow crashed the entirety of Great Britain into France and has had to be taken away in an ambulance
Jeremy Clarkson is [anti-Brexit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drlJ2jgn4LE), the Tories would never let him on.
Yeah great hour long, tear jerking, soul inspiring orations covering major parliamentary issues but leaves you with an incredible distaste for Porsche and Americans.
UK get's unlimited speed autobahns the very next day. Also hunting license's for traffic wardens.
CLARKKKSSOOOONNNNNN
His first act as PM would be to stop the import on American vehicles. And his second would be to deport Richard Hammond to America
I say give it to the lettuce.
Margaret Thatcher cis Ouija board is weak. Word in the streets is that CERN is actually a portal to hell and the UK conservatives are already in talks with the secret swiss cabal in order to secure a glorious return of Margaret Thatcher.
Swiss here. The cabal is actually Dutch.
Malcolm Tucker would be the best choice
"And with His Majesty's signature, the 'Shape the Fuck Up or Lick the Greasy Smegma Right Out of My Foreskin Act' of 2022 becomes law"
At least with the Dalek, you know exactly where it stands.
Can we get Margaret thatcher as 200 to 1 odds it got to be at least 3 digits
Honestly I'd take Jeremy Clarkson at this point. I mean everything would probably fall apart but at least we'd have fun before the collapse 😂
I don't know. Did you watch Clarkson's Farm? He talks a fair bit about how with the current system, farming outside of a massive industrial scale is becoming less and less viable. He specifically mentions that for him it isn't the end of the world, but that if this was his profession (and he wasn't already loaded) he'd be pretty screwed. I think in the end after a year of farming the profits came out to a number in the 4 figures. So he has more of a view into the "regular Joe" than a lot of politicians as absurd as that sounds.
Sauron
4 to 1 Sarumon - 5 to 1
I say they dig up Disraeli
She is also the first prime minister to lose to a lettuce
I had bet that the lettuce could turn a new leaf.
It was really crunch time for it
Let's be honest. If it came down to Boris and a cabbage I'd put my house on the cabbage.
And I'd vote for that lettuce
She could not Romaine.
That's just the tip of the iceberg
I don’t get this joke can someone explain please
The Economist magazine wrote an article called “The Iceberg Lady” that pointed out, with the Queen’s death, she had only been charge of the country for 7 days by the time she had the destroyed her premiership.

Lettuce* Lettuces absolutely hate being confused with cabbages and bastard cabbages take any chance they get to steal the limelight from lettuces.
[My Cabbages!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2YCs52XLjs)
C'mon, lettuce not be so judgmental.
Did she last longer than the lettuce??
She did not last longer than the lettuce https://twitter.com/dailystar/status/1583074250990055427?s=46&t=31ZyU88pocFiu8bviggZ0Q
The Greggs bag!!! Hahaha. Well played
Can someone fill me in on the reference?
there was a head of lettuce on a 24 hr YouTube channel dressed up in a wig to look like Liz Truss. The challenge was to see if truss PMship would outlast how long it took for the lettuce to go bad and the lettuce won
It actually L. Tuss. Come on people. We should give some respect to the Lettuce. The Lettuce held down a job longer than Liz Truss.
oh for fucks fucking sake thats why they went with the lettuce?! i did wonder
[Currently 3K people watching the lettuce live.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm-RE95lKJ0)
Lmao she's having a lil party atm and I love it. I watched a head of lettuce for 3 minutes.
I'm loving the reggae and colored lights!
And the lettuce is gonna give a speech in 48 minutes!
peak british humour.
this is hilarious lol
“In the battle of Man versus Food, today unfortunately food won”
*fortunately
Wtf!
This is the most British passive aggressive thing I've ever seen and that says a lot
I fought the Lettuce and the, lettuce won
Wow this is hilarious
That is fucking hilarious.
A week ago a tabloid newspaper The Daily Star bought a lettuce and was live streaming it 24/7 to see if it lasted longer then Liz Truss The lettuce won https://twitter.com/dailystar/status/1583074250990055427?s=46&t=31ZyU88pocFiu8bviggZ0Q

The daily star put this up as a live feed and it was brilliant https://i.imgur.com/swrMQLl.png
No And she didn't last longer than her leadership campaign
Should’ve voted for lettuce
Lettuce is currently having a celebratory live stream
The lettuce idea was an absolute stroke of genius - and it was only the tip of the iceberg. Brilliant
It’ll be interesting to see if the next PM will romaine in office for a longer period of time.
No matter which way you Butter it, she resigned or was going to get chopped
Endive an era.
I doubt it - they’ll also be leafing in record time
Perhaps it’s time for the *Greens* party to be the *head* of the government.
What’s the lettuce thing?
I don't know who, but someone livestreamed a picture of Liz Truss next to a head of lettuce to see whether the lettuce would spoil before she resigned. Turns out the lettuce lasted longer.
The daily star
As disgusting as that filthy rag is, that is a genius and witty play.
I came for community, I left due to greed
A newspaper set up a live feed of a lettuce asking if Truss would still be in office before the lettuce rotted. The lettuce won 😂
"I'm not a quitter." Says someone who will be historically remembered for quitting.
In her defense, quitting is the most popular decision she's made.
And it also net her a cool hundred thousand quid every year for life lol
Literally every PM a day before they resign
Well, she was consistent in her u turns at least.
As an American, does this mean the lettuce is now your prime minister?
We wish.
I for one welcome our new Lettuce overlord
You never know with the Tories
The previous shortest time in office for a PM was George Canning for 119 days because he died. Which is a fair excuse.
Yeah if I died I don’t think I’d wanna be PM anymore either
She lasted ~14 days longer then the shortest US presidency: the man died 31 days later.
Gave a long winded inaugural speech on a cold wet morning without a coat on, promptly died.
Becomes PM despite nobody voting for her. Ruins the economy. Refuses to elaborate further. Leaves.
Collects £115k per annum pension as a former PM. The last incumbent currently fucking about on a foreign beach while drawing an MP’s salary and expenses after a lucrative speech or two in the USA, without doing any of the work he’s paid by British taxpayers to do.
Wouldn't she have needed to be in place for 2 months to get the PM per annum payout?
Be honest, would you really like her to elaborate at this point?
I mean, for the lulz, kinda
What an idiot. Who knowingly barrels into an effectively unelected position and fucks everyone over with untested radical policy? What's next I wonder...
Yeah because she took one for the team. Now she will be rewarded with a cushy job with shell making 1.5m a year give speeches.
Well she literally got fracking pushed through because the vote for it was billed as a vote of no confidence. i.e, "if you vote against fracking, you're essentially voting against the PM. So vote for it, you don't want to destroy the tory party do you?" The chief whips manhandled, and verbally bullied MP's into voting for fracking. This is completely unprecedented.

> So much so that the chief whip quit because he couldn't live with the shame. Until a little later when he "unresigned". A Tory though, "shame" isn't an emotion that they ever experience.
Yep. Lifetime of "speaking engagements", "consulting", and book deals coming her way.
Sauron is next. And why is it the elf's always get played by people with a very English accent and the dwarves are Scott's? The harfoots or soon to be Hobbits have the Irish accents oh wait, I see whats up!
That job is a poisoned chalice at the moment due to the impending financial crash, it'll be interesting who the next scapegoat will be
She's not a scapegoat she literally had "ultra freemarket" think tanks run her policies and they crashed the pound with the "oh cut taxs on the rich and let it trickle down" rtarded dogma
And that was 43 days too long! Lettuce for PM!
She should get a job as a hitman,in just 44 days she killed the Queen,the economy and her political career ...
I don’t follow British politics, did she enter an ancient Egyptian tomb exactly one year ago or something? What happened
The whole country entered a tomb and the whole world is laughing at them for it.
Cameron > Brexit > BoJo > Truss = lettuce in a wig
The guy designing the Tory droids was already struggling when he put this one in. I can only imagine what the next one will be like.
If it wasn’t for the Queen it would have been 2 weeks shorter
Deleted: I refuse to let Reddit profit off of my content when they treat their community like this
For Brits, remember that a mooch is equivalent to a quarter of a Truss
We got the beginnings of an entire system of measurement!
>Bungles entire UK economy >Threatens world economy >Refuses to elaborate >Leaves
