    Didn’t the Netherlands have a year of five premiers?

    Also, Tories, y’all might want to disown them but the Brits are still euros as far as everyone else reckons, save maybe for a particularly unionist canadian or aussie.

    Y’all might have rules about it but that doesn’t change that snap elections basically guarantee no incentive to figure anything out because you can always just hit the do-over button until someone’s base is the last one standing without turnout fatigue and someone secures an outright majority or a purely ideological coalition.

    The idea of governing coalitions is kinda old fashioned anyways, just hold a STAR or approval vote for each of the cabinet positions including for premier and voilà, now you never have to engage in horse trading just to form a standing government, and the stress of negotiations can be reserved for law making or inter-departmental cabinet affairs.
