Are we keeping count? the UK PM, the Estonia PM, President of Sri Lanka, now Italy's PM. All resigned and/or forced out. In one week? Something is afoot.
Am expecting the Netherlands and Germany soon.
I'm praying Canada is next.
This is the way.
Fuckin'-A, Bubba...
No fucking deals.
I dig the cutt of your free speech jib.
Need a national lottery to see who gets honor of kicking chair out from underneath him.
He MUST swing.
Due to an unusual set of circumstances, I am the only American in my family, all the rest are Canadian. Vaccine bullhockey has kept me separated from my family for a very long time, and there is no end in sight.
They are only 25 miles away.
I live in exile, cut adrift from those that I love.
My wife faces the same. She is Canadian and we live less than 2 hours from her family. She has not seen them since Christmas 2019. Her father has since died and we missed the funeral. My wife cries a lot. Her youngest brother worked in Detroit and was stuck here for almost a year as his wife gave birth to their daughter alone in Windsor, a mere 25 minute drive away.
(me in Canada) having to explain to based but still normie friends how I'm not worried at all with all the BS going on. Q said the world will follow after anon asked for help it Q in Canada 2018.
Rutte is never going to leave anytime soon and if he is "stepping down" he is just gonna continue as demissionary for a year until they hold new elections just like last time.
And then he joked I have more power now becouse you cannot sent me away again
France - Macron.
People called for him to resign. FTFY
People are ALWAYS calling on him to resign. Especially on this board.
Can't find any sauce on that
Don’t forget Abe killed
That was like 150 years ago...(jk)
Please do Australia, Canada, and NZ next. I hope people are getting their ropes ready.

Cats, am I correct in understanding that adding the context button (link) is a feature only available to mods? (I can never find or see how to do it)
Also, I occasionally see random tags that match the specific post but are one of a kind. Is this another feature that only Mods can execute?
"Italian President Sergio Mattarella rejected a resignation offer from Prime Minister Mario Draghi, according to a statement from the head of state’s office."
The Empire is about to collapse and Draghi wanted it to be under someone elses watch, the President agrees and deflected it back to Super Mario - you broke it Mario so you pay for it, type of thing
Update (1355ET): Italian President Sergio Mattarella rejected a resignation offer from Prime Minister Mario Draghi, according to a statement from the head of state’s office.
Mattarella invited Draghi to address parliament to assess the political situation after a key coalition party boycotted a confidence vote on Draghi’s government Thursday.
So what happens next? (Via Newsquawk)
One option, short of fresh elections, could be for PM Draghi to ask President Mattarella to allow him to attempt to form a new government without the 5-Star party: as this would allow the 5-Star to stick to its principles without collapsing the government that it retains overall confidence in (opposing just the crisis package), and for Draghi to enhance his credibility within the political sphere.
Such an option is possible as assuming the government ex-M5S remains intact, then they will control 175/321 Senate seats and thus retain a majority
However, this view is muddied by Salvini's League saying they are not willing to remain in the gov’t in the scenario that M5S quits - given they hold 60 seats their loss would erase the gov’ts ex-M5S majority.
Not 💯 on what that means. I guess he’s not resigning now?
Maybe it’s just a polite thing? Like when a NY police commissioner will turn in resignation letter when a new mayor is elected, the mayor can than decided to keep commissioner or appoint a new one.
You’re probably right.

So, where's the popcorn?
Hopefully the same way Mussolini did.
Kinda crazy so many big political leaders resigning left and right.
Because they know the dam is about to break.
They know there’s a lot of people out there who have less respect for government vermin than yard waste that’s burned to a char. The world is better with less politicians and other parasites.
Italy has a president AND a prime minister?
You love to see it
he couldnt build back better fast enough. will be replaced with someone more brutal and efficient just like how boris is being replaced
He’s about as deep state as they get.
Ever noticed how when the empire crumbles they all look incredibly ordinary and less than useless. No charm or charisma lacking in creativity or ideas.
Another one of the build back better crew.
Hmmmmm🤔🤔.
Yeah, because President Mattarella doesn't want the elections that Draghi's resignation would entail. Italy would see a red wave and the cabalist Mattarella sez nooooo.
I guess we will be last.
Or Israel?
