    Not since the last time, anyway.

    Still seen it more often than "British Prime Minister Assassinated"...

    I wonder why that is?

    Because "no confidence" votes are easier to accomplish in a Parliamentary system than successful impeachments in a Republic. ;)




    Of course, others might claim it's because the British are sheep... :naughty:

    Nah, it's more about the age of the nation. We did our fair share of killing and civil conflict before the US even existed.

    Has a British PM ever been assassinated?

    I believe that you find it more useful to kill off your royalty... ;)

    Not that I can recall.

    Of course, it would have helped if UK history had been taught at school :rolleyes: but I think we've saved that joy for a King (or two)... plus the occasional Prince...

    Here's hoping that's a lesson we've not forgotten, You never know when such skills will come in handy...

    Many, many kings assasinated...

    but only one put on trial and executed: Charles 1

    Not a single Prime Minister assasinated (as far as I know)
