She's definitely a power mad cretin, but doesn't this make sound political sense? When the shit hits the fan, she can still jump off the bus whenever she wants, after all. The one chink in her armour - aside from the fact she's leading the country to certain doom - is that she is presently unelected. And surely Labour would be in a much stronger position in 2020, when it will be far less easy to lie brazenly about the effects of leaving the EU?

The Christian Social People's Party (CSV), with its predecessor Party of the Right, has governed Luxembourg continuously since 1917, except for 1974–79 and from 2013. However, Luxembourg has a coalition system, and the CSV has been in coalition with at least one of the two next two leading parties for all but four years. It has always won a plurality of seats in parliamentary elections, although it has lost the popular vote in 1964 and 1974.
