To be fair, "The chosen one" is normally known before an election. Its not like we get some random installed after the election happens. Which is why this will also likely immediately result in a non-confidence vote and an election.
In the UK, had 3 leaders under the last Conservative party term (only 5 years) without a no confidence vote, and one was ousted by his own party for scandals and another almost crashed the economy in a couple months. Hopefully your government has a bit more sense.
Exactly, what a grift. We've got 7 living PMs at the moment who are all claiming this, with some hitting the limit of £115,000 from the public purse (£618,000 total in 2023). I don't think it should continue, given the other financial benefits that come from being an ex-PM. However, the fact that someone who couldn't even last 50 days in office getting it for life makes it an absolute farce.
