The departed
Look at that graph. Now look at it again.
Yes, its a tad hard to understand. x-axis is timeline with 0 the start of a government. Each graph is one government, cumulatively counting the number of fired or resigned ministers since inauguration.
Cameron lost the most, but he took his time. Losing 10 ministers over the lifetime of a government seems to be the norm.
And May? She's burning folk like there is no tomorrow.
Which means that the cabinet has rather radically changed from its beginnings. Remainers are now in majority. Flamboyant characters have been replaced with technocrats and workaholics. Pro-business characters hold the floor; the Home Secretary openly ignoring any immigration targets. Ministers are noticably younger.
We will see where this gets us.
