It's pretty swift in a number of European countries, days not weeks.
Fact is the civil service is not being swapped, just the political leaders of the departments. Perfectly fine to just swap ministers in a matter of days.
- KSteffensen 6y agoAssuming the newly elected parliament can agree on a government. This is not always so easy, Belgium are famous for not having a government for years at a time. This is not a 'Europe is different from USA' thing. Each country/system is peculiar in its own way.
- joveian 6y agoThe core of the issue is that the US president has way too much power and does replace a large number of civil service positions. "Just after the presidential election, a revised edition of the Plum Book is published, which lists over 9,000 federal civil service leadership and support political appointment positions which an incoming administration needs to review, and fill or confirm." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_presidential_transition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_presidential_transition
- zajio1am 6y ago> It's pretty swift in a number of European countries, days not weeks. Unlikely. After election, coalition negotiation starts and that took weeks or months. Only after a new coalition is negotiated then a new government may be voted in by MPs. For example last EU elections was 2019-05, while new commission was voted in 2019-11.
