With the very recent swearings-in of the two Prime Ministers Giorgia Meloni (Oct 22 🇮🇹) and Rishi Sunak (Oct 25 🇬🇧) after turbulent times in both countries with numerous replacements of the head of the government apparatus and snap elections, in either case the third prime minister of their respective country in this decade, I am wondering which of the two countries will have been governed by more different prime ministers by the end of the 2020s.
The Italians have already been infamous for their brisk crew change, but the British have lately begun to follow suit.
So, what do you think? Has Italy eventually come to rest, with the UK becoming the new Italy? Or will there be some kind of competition between those two states as to who is gonna dissipate more (or less) prime ministerial material?

When are we starting counting? If we start at, say, 2015 (which seems like a good starting point for this era of British politics), Italy had Renzi, Gentiloni, Conte, Draghi and now Meloni. The UK had Cameron, May, BoJo, Truss and now Sunak. So we're 5-5 right now.

If we're talking about the end of the decade, then Italy.

As it stands Labour will win a good-sized majority, and in that case Starmer will be around for at least a full term of 4-5 years. I don't see a similar period of government stability coming to Italy (I may be wrong, of course)

2020-2029


Also if we start counting at 2020, there's a tie between both countries right now.

Yep, still 3-3. We'll see what happens, but I guess it's still more likely Italy gets more in the end.

This is correct, I think Starmer will end up being the fourth and final PM this decade.

Wouldn't it be kind of ironic if it should emerge that the UK simply needed a socialist prime minister in order to end the incessant turmoil, whereas in Italy the election of a conservative government was the key to success?
