In the last 20 years, the UK has had 7 Prime Ministers (Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak, and Starmer) who have served 2.7 years on average. (One is tempted to predict that in the future, every Brit will be PM for a day.) By contrast, the US has had 3 presidents (Obama, Trump, and Biden) who have served 5.7 years on average.
Recent US presidents saw their approval ratings plummet well below 40% midway through their terms. In a parliamentary system, ratings that low almost always trigger an internal party coup or a formal vote of no confidence. That is to say, if we had a similar electoral system, we in the US would likely have a similar rate of turnover.
At least since the time of Thatcher and Reagan, and then Blair and Clinton, and then the UK's vote for BREXIT at the same time that the US elected Trump, the UK and the US have had similar politics. What that means in this 21st century is that voters are unhappy and unafraid to quickly withdraw their approval. In the UK, that also means sending their PM off to the next chapter of their lives. Here in the US we have to simply endure as the calendar runs out.
