Is this cartoon mocking the fact that Britain has a mechanism to get rid of a shitty leader? I think the opposite is a lot more scary.

I think it's more making fun of the fact that they have to keep using it. I do agree it's great that they actually do have that power though.

I'd take that over being stuck with a terrible president any day

Maybe next time we reinvent political systems we’ll make one that’s aware of game theory and how things will obviously be exploited.

Every game has a metagame, it's unavoidable. Tic tac toe has a metagame. The problem in politics is you don't always know what the actual metagame will turn out to be, so it's often best to stick to the devil you know.

Problem with this is it implies that whatever he left behind in the 'tea' is going to stay there. It cannot be undone.

Well he did outlast a lettuce

That was a cut one though, not an actual plant

The cartoonist captured the expression masterfully

This is nothing compared to Peru's presidential crisis.

Go draw and post a comic (or commission it) about it. Then we'll see who laughs last (probably you)

Excellent rendition of such an awful awful situation, is this the version where they speak to the actual miners afterwards
