40 points. That's sad!

Probably the same 40, though my answer to the bonus question was "you mean there is someone in charge?!"

I was wondering whether the UK one was a trick question, as Betsy Windsor is head of state, but does empower the nominated Prime Minister to form a government, so I do agree with the answer.

I think there would be some quibbles here: the answer given for Italy is in fact the head of state, mostly ceremonial but with some effective power; in France the president has more power but I see the prime minister also defined as head of government. Germany also has a president, but that is not the name given here. At the G7, France was represented by its president, but but Italy and Germany by the prime minister and chancellor, respectively.

That is what you get when you have someone from the states try to do a government quiz.
So much simpler here with just one leader, albeit sometimes I wish their were more.
Thanks Andrew!
I would be curious what are the right answers.

 

[Pauline]

I almost knew the leader of Greece and could have scored all those extra points if had dragged that info from the back of my mind.

@Ian Sutton - Betsy Windsor - it took me a minute to figure out what you meant!!
