In the 37 years from 1979 to 2016 Britain had five prime ministers, all but one of whom served at least one full term in office. In the 10 years since, the country has seen five leaders (six if one counts the last months of David Cameron). Four of those reached office without a general election, though one later secured a clear mandate. Boris Johnson and Theresa May served barely three years, Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss far less.
从1979年到2016年的37年间,英国共有五位首相,其中除一人外都完成了至少一个完整任期。此后十年间,国家又经历了五位领导人(如果算上戴维•卡梅伦执政的最后几个月,则是六位)。其中四位是在未经过大选的情况下入主唐宁街,尽管其中一人在之后赢得了明确授权。鲍里斯•约翰逊(Boris Johnson)和特蕾莎•梅(Theresa May)任期都勉强三年,里希•苏纳克(Rishi Sunak)和利兹•特拉斯(Liz Truss)则更短。
