 UK general election prediction: Rishi Sunak will remain one of the many unelected Prime Ministers of the Undemocratic United Kingdom.

Here is a list of the last 5 Prime Ministers who took office without winning a general election first:

	1.	Rishi Sunak (2022)
	2.	Liz Truss (2022)
	3.	Boris Johnson (2019) - won an election after assuming office
	4.	Theresa May (2016) - won an election after assuming office
	5.	Gordon Brown (2007)

ChatGPT 4o still manages to make a lighthearted joke about this sad fact.

 Well, at least the UK has a consistent track record of keeping things interesting when it comes to Prime Ministers. It's like they're playing musical chairs but with 10 Downing Street. Maybe they should consider adding some party hats and balloons to the mix for an extra dose of fun! 
 Even the elected PM,s have been “selected” 😏
