Everyday thoughts, but not every day

That's a turnip for the books!

BBC headline stating that Magdalena Andersson twice became the first Swedish prime minister

BBC News' Maddy Savage explains how Magdalena Andersson became Sweden's first female prime minister, twice! Except she didn't, really.

TLDR: The Swedish parliament voted Andersson as the country's PM last Wednesday. Just hours later, she resigned, when her government's budget was rejected, and one of her coalition partners quit. She dissolved the coalition, and was voted back by parliament this week, as PM of a single-party minority government.

So, she hasn't become Sweden's first female PM twice. She became the country's first woman PM last week; resigned; and was then re-elected. She's still the first, but she only accomplished that feat once.*

Not that I'm knocking her achievement. I have never been Sweden's first woman PM. Not even once.

* By the same reasoning, the UK's first woman PM, Margaret Thatcher, served three consecutive terms in office. But she didn't become the UK's first woman PM three times. Once was more than enough.
