Yukio Hatoyama is now at 10%, not over 10%. But seriously speaking, I think the reason for this is a lot of politics-buffs taking the quiz they're good at.

Italy is a parliamentary republic, where cabinets, and mostly Prime ministers were given little power by the post-war Constitution, fearing a comeback of a Fascist regime. This means that every little change in the parliamentary majority usually reflects in a cabinet change. Traditionally - if we except the last 20-25 years - PM were fairly less powerful than majority parties leaders. During the last years, this system has come back to work.

From 1948 to 1982, PM changed every few months, but they were all from the same party.

Merkel is mediocre in every regard except in power maintenance. Her compromises are usually foul content-wise, but they are perfectly balanced between the interests of "the economy" (or its leaders) and the current vibe among the population. Her precedessor Schröder got done much more in half the time, and he more or less deliberalitely paid the price by making himself unpopular. He brought about massive social and economic reforms which transformed Germany from the "sick man of Europe" to its powerhouse (and also created Europe's largest precariat, unfortunately). His government was also the first since the end of WWII to enter a war, and yet, along with Chirac, they opposed Bush when he invaded Iraq. Not a fan overall, but probably underrated in his influence.

Not that I'm disagreeing as I don't know much about German politics. But if Merkel's predecessor was so good at bringing about social and economic reforms then why was he so unpopular?

because his "social" reforms forced the unemployed to take jobs they did not want and made them do stupid educational programs (like teaching an it-specialist how to use word). This resoluted in the largest low-wage sector in Europe and is part of the reason why German goods (e.g. pork) are sold around the world cheaper than domestic products.

i'm not super into political things so pardon the ignorance, but wouldn't balancing interests of the economy and economic leaders with the wishes of the general population would be a good thing?

I'm from the UK and live in Canada, and have always wondered what it's like to live somewhere where there is actually a good person in charge. Sadly, no one on this list qualifies as coming close.

The question was sincere by the way, lol. Considering how many people you have to please and how many compromises you need to make even at the start of a political career, "good" is relative for any head of government/state. Especially for larger nations, which are more involved internationally. José Mujica sounds like an alright guy, but someone from Uruguay can probably cite at least half a dozen questionable things he's done or was forced to do.

Lacalle Pou is (and will be) 100x times better than pepe Mujica.

Technically it was G8 between 1997 and 2013, therefore two Russian leaders also took part to meetings after 2003.

Leaders of the European Union has always been there too.
