Sweden gets its first female prime minister, for 8 hours.

Earlier today the Swedish parliament elected Magdalena Andersson new prime minister, and less than 8 hours later she resigned after the Greens announced that they would not be part of her government. Finding a stable majority in the parliament has not been easy since the last election and today it resulted in a Social democratic new prime minister, but the party did not manage to get their budget proposal through the parliament. The green party would not accept the right wing budget and will not be part of Andersson's government, so Andersson resigned, Löfven remains prime minister and the speaker now has to propose a new prime minister.

However, she still managed to get more done while in office than Boris Johnson.

Oh come on, this stuff writes itself!

Magdalena Andersson: Sweden's first female PM returns after resignation

Magdalena Andersson is backed by MPs again, despite standing down last week hours into the job.

Sweden's first female prime minister has been reappointed to the top job after political turmoil forced her to resign within hours of taking the post last week.

MPs backed Social Democratic Party leader Magdalena Andersson by a narrow margin in a new vote on Monday.
She will attempt to lead a one-party government until an election in September next year.
She stood down as prime minister last Thursday after her coalition collapsed.
Just hours earlier, Ms Andersson had been elected as Sweden's first female prime minister by a single vote in parliament.
But the 54-year-old economist's plan for forming a new coalition government with the Green Party was thrown into disarray when her budget proposal failed to pass.

Instead, parliament voted for a budget drawn up by a group of opposition parties, including the far-right Sweden Democrats.
The Green Party said it would not accept a budget drafted by the far-right and walked away from the government, leading to its demise.
By convention, the prime minister in Sweden is expected to resign if a coalition party leaves government.
In Monday's vote, 101 of the Riksdag's 349 members voted yes, 75 abstained and 173 voted no, according to Swedish broadcaster SVT.
To be appointed prime minister under Sweden's political system, a candidate only needs to avoid a majority voting against them.

She was never in office, she was supposed to take over the job on friday last week during a meeting with the King.
