After her exit, Rutte and Orban will be the leaders who have been in office the longest. Oof
So Orbán and Rutte will be the senior EU leaders soon.. I wonder who’s going to last longer.
The colours indicate the EU affiliation of the leader’s party (this is why all of Estonia’s leaders are the same colour – the Reform Party and Centre Party are both with RE)
Orban is dark grey for non-inscrits since Fidesz left the EPP earlier this year
Ready for 4 years of Scholz/SPD, creating necessary reforms and change, followed by yet another 16 year run of CDU stagnation
Olaf Scholz will be the 9th chancellor.
I never before realized how uncommon it is that in my entire lifetime (26 years) we’ve only had 3 different prime ministers
Lol Chirac was still in power? Crazy.
Janša clearly helped install and depose her.
This is so informative and, as an aside, much better than any of the posts on r/coolguides.
Or to change the perspective on this a bit : German Brezhnev is no more 😉
Ireland: *ahem*
Socrates in Portugal
If anybody told me at the beginning of the year she would outlast Kurz i would have laughed and called them crazy.
Babiš being yellow kills me every time lol
Didn’t know how weird it is to see our prime ministers only referred to with their last name.
Ok I’m only 20 but I had *no* idea Verhofstadt was our prime minister from 1999 to 2008. What the actual fuck.
Also it’s weird to see liberals in yellow.
Next do Lukashenko
Lol wow
Also isn’t Fidesz still technically an EPP party?
for italy were years of political stability… and I am not ironic
Nnnnnice… Now let’s see what Queen Paul Allen has…
Men varför badade Merkel alltid med kläderna på?
But as a Swede I wonder if she always took a bath with her clothes on 🤔
And Helmut Kohl is still the longest serving Chancellor of modern Germany. His tenure was 5870 days, Merkel has 5820 days right now.
2006-2007 is peak ECR: Topolánek, Marcinkiewicz/Kaczyński
F in the chat for Christofias (GUE/NGL), Tsipras (GUE/NGL), Skevernelis (G/EFA), and Orbán (NI)

Hipster countries bucking all trends: Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Malta, Spain
Just goes to show how stagnant politics in Germany is.
Putin: hold my beer
Curiously, between 2018 and 2020, a dog was often heard barking when someone spoke the name of the Slovakian prime minister!
Italy, how does it feels changing your head of government every 2 years
Lukashenko: pssh. Thats it?!
Putin: hold my beer
What’s the meaning of the colors?
Still not as long as Tage Erlander
You forgot Luka!
Why did Kurz have such short terms in austria?
Now do Russia.
I was alive during the Balkenende government?!
I legit only remember Rutte and i am 19, so its not like Balkenende was only in power during the first few years alive
Bruh
Denmark actually had 3 prime ministers in a row with the name Rasmussen from 1993-2011 and then actually again from 2015-2019. So normally their middle names are used. Løkke was (is) also one.
