They're just copying the example set by UK. Imagine what the Italians were saying about the UK.Who'd want to go to France anyway?
"Some people in France were upset to learn this week that their political chaos was being laughed at… by the Italians.
In less than two years France has gone through five prime ministers, a political feat unsurpassed even in Rome's times of post-war political turbulence. And now, the French parliament – reconfigured after the president's decision to hold a snap election in July 2024 – is struggling to produce a majority capable of passing a budget. Add to this a general strike on Thursday called by unions opposed to previous budget proposals. Newspapers in Rome and Turin exhibited a distinct gioia maligna (malicious joy) in recounting recent events. There was the humiliation of the recently departed Prime Minister François Bayrou, the warnings of spiralling debt and the prospect of the French economy needing to be bailed out by the IMF. But most of all, there was the fading glory of the president, Emmanuel Macron".
Three PMs in two months, is political chaos the UK's new normal?
the fifth in six years. It is the fastest turnover of leaders in No 10 for nearly a century.

Experts say why they think it appears increasingly difficult for prime ministers to remain in power.
