The fact that the UK's democratically elected prime minister lives in a shithole flat in some street in London while the fucking King lives in a gigantic mansion complex with smaller mansions built specifically for his dogs might be part of the reason as to why they've been stagnant for so long. Decroded ass country.

@AppleAmps personally I think the main problem is the latter, the former should be The Standard in My Opinion argentina_pensive

@AppleAmps the prime minister gets a mansion too though, downing street is basically their office then they get a mansion out in the country for weekends and entertaining and whatnot

@AppleAmps@seafoam.space ❄️ the prime minister gets to hang out with Larry the chief mouser, i'd take that over mansions

Still though, I struggle to think that it holds a candle to where the unelected guy who's great times a million grandfather conquered the region lives.
Plus I would argue that the right way to do it is to have the place where the job gets done be more ornate than the place where the jagoff who does it lives, but that might just be my argentine bias coming in.

@AppleAmps I have my doubts that the PM actually does anything but act as a talking head on TV for what the actual government is doing tbh

@Len0w0ThinkBad @AppleAmps 10 Downing Street is apparently so tiny as a livable place that prime ministers would rather live at #11, as it is bigger. #11 is where the Chancellor (ie the the guy who controls the Treasury) lives. So for photo ops, the prime minister is at #10 and she’s at #11, but for actual liveability, it’s swapped. Well, that was true under Blair, Cameron, and Johnson, not sure how it is for Starmer, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

@Len0w0ThinkBad @AppleAmps Things would probably go a lot better if the civil service were left to get on with the job.
