4/53 - Super fine!

Level 65

Dec 17, 2018

I got 4 but I think I could not even come up with 4 from my own country, my memory sucks and politics isnt my thing at all (nor history)

Level 60

Jun 24, 2016

David Cameron has resigned, Prepare to update it once he actually leaves office and his replacement is announced

Level 66

Nov 8, 2016

Theresa May - like Ming the Merciless in shoulder pads.

Level 72

Jul 24, 2019

Ming had a personality. Not a very ncie one, but a personality. TM was just a vacant shell.

Level 60

Jul 12, 2016

Theresa May is the PM? When did she get announced?

Level 47

Jul 12, 2016

Not yet. She's becoming PM tomorrow

Level 22

Jul 12, 2016

What...?!?!?

I need to move to Canda, who wants to join me?

Level 89

Jul 14, 2016

Where is this Canda you speak of? Is it like Candy Land?

Level 66

Jul 12, 2016

americans only know 3 because they only care about their own country

Level 52

Jul 12, 2016

So I guess some people in America don't have the knowledge of foreign leaders like u do. But does that mean we don't care about other countries?

Level 67

Jul 12, 2016

Joejoe needs a hug. Making comments about the supposed ignorance of Americans only makes you yourself look ignorant. I cannot for the life of me understand why none of you America-bashers ever sense the irony in your "Americans are bad because think they are so much better than everyone else. How dare they? Now here's why we're so much better than Americans..." rants. It would be amusing if it weren't so sad.

Level 83

Jul 12, 2016

Americans only know 3 because they are humans much like any other, and they care about things that are relevant to their own lives. Brits can name more than 3 US presidents because US presidents are more relevant internationally. But how many kings of Nepal can you name?

So extremely bored of this cliche that Americans are more ignorant of the world than anyone else. It's just so laughably demonstrably false. I've been traveling through Europe and the Near East for nearly 2 years now. I get asked all the time where I drove my car from and when I say "Bahrain," I think... of the hundreds of Europeans who asked me that question, maybe ONE has known that Bahrain was a country or where it was located. When I tell *Europeans* that I am in Thessaloniki, or Odessa, or Minsk, or Vilnius, or Riga, I can't believe it but the most common response is "where?" You don't even know you're own continent! Americans don't know where Vilnius is, either, but they know Las Vegas! (same population)

Level 56

May 20, 2017

True

Level 88

Jun 25, 2018

But a lot can't name one Canadian province or Mexican state.

Level 65

Dec 17, 2018

Las vegas isnt a very good comparison. Everybody in the world has probably heard of it

Level 83

Jun 1, 2019

I can't help it that American cities are more famous than yours. There's no good reason for you to not have heard of Thessaloniki, Odessa, or St Petersburg. Meanwhile Minsk, Vilnius, and Riga are all national capitals and I've lost count of how many times I've read some indignant European complaining that every micronation of Europe is important to know because they are sovereign nations, unlike US states. But if this were true then it is disproven by their own ignorance of said sovereign nations as like I mentioned whenever I was in some major city in Eastern Europe at least half the Europeans I spoke to in other countries didn't know where I was.

Level 83

Jul 24, 2019

someone: if you ask any American where Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, or Vancouver is I bet 95% would at least be able to tell you Canada. A similar proportion would know that Mexico City, Juarez, or Tijuana were in Mexico. I had people in neighboring countries in Eastern Europe not know where I was when I was in some of those cities I listed.

Level 72

Nov 4, 2022

I literally know where every single one of those cities is, I also know that Bahrain is an island country connected to Saudi Arabia by the King Faad Causeway (although not sure of the spelling for ‘Faad’).. I could also name a few kings of Nepal if it came to it. Maybe both sides could knock off the generalisations. America and Europe are United insofar as they both contain plenty of smart people, as well as some pretty dumb people.

Level 83

Nov 7, 2022

richie: good for you. One individual doesn't negate the validity of a generalization, though. It can, however, negate an absolute statement.

Level 61

Jul 12, 2016

Yeah, including Theresa May is somewhat premature. But c'est la vie.

Level 58

Jul 12, 2016

36, not bad for a "simple Southern farmer". OK, I have a degree in history. Also, Downton Abbey helped. A few names tripped me up- I typed gallstone several times before correcting to Gladstone.

Level 76

Sep 26, 2020

I think that it was Sir Anthony Eden who had gallstones. Isn't that why he made such a mess of the Suez crisis?

Level 22

Jul 12, 2016

Who's this Theresa May?!

Level 60

Jul 12, 2016

Former Home Secretary and now the leader of the Conservative party, which means she's PM

Level 82

Sep 5, 2016

The one who just sat there whilst everyone else dropped out of the leadership race, thus becoming our current unelected PM.

Level 45

Jul 12, 2016

Americans know three? I knew 1! (They don't teach anything about British prime ministers in history class...)

Level 46

Jul 12, 2016

That's a really bad excuse in my opinion. Just because they don't teach you about certain things in school (say British prime ministers or politics in other countries) doesn't mean that you can't read and educate yourself about it! I'm from Sweden and they didn´t teach us all about the British prime ministers either, but a new quite a few from reading history, news and books about the world. You should do the same!

Level 75

Jul 12, 2016

It would be interesting to see quiz stats based on quizzers' countries. Maybe add "home country" when registering as a user, or maybe the system could work that out anyway?

Level 60

Jul 12, 2016

That is a good idea! You should tell Quizmaster!😀

Level 45

Jul 12, 2016

I think if you added a 'home country' box people would type random countries for the fun of it.

Level 83

Jul 13, 2016

It's all for fun, anyway, Matthew. Not a bad idea.

Level 83

Jul 24, 2019

That's not true. Maybe they didn't in your history classes, or maybe you just weren't paying attention, but I know for a fact when I was in school we at least learned the names of Winston Churchill, Neville Chamberlain, and Margaret Thatcher. I also distinctly remember Pitt the Elder/Younger coming up, as well as the Duke of Wellington, and I think maybe Disraeli. I recall learning about the Balfour Declaration so we probably read his name, too.

Level 67

Jul 24, 2019

Did you learn in school that the Duke of Wellington was prime minister? I definitely remember learning in some detail about his victory at Waterloo, but I don't recall learning he was prime minister. I was surprised to see him on this list only because it seems like something my teachers should have mentioned when discussing him, even if the focus was on his military exploits.

Level 83

Jul 24, 2019

can't remember. But we definitely learned about him.

Level 30

Jul 12, 2016

OH MY GOSH!!!!!! 100%!!!!! I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!

Looked at wikipedia throught though, LOLLL

Level 78

Mar 27, 2020

Cheater then.

Level 59

Jul 12, 2016

I'm so sad Theresa May is PM. The UK as we know it has ended.

Level 83

Jul 24, 2019

Don't worry. Boris Johnson is in charge now.

Level 72

Jul 24, 2019

We've replaced the worst PM in living memory with a man who was our worst ever foreign secretary. Fail, abysmally, at one job and have your party decide you are the ideal man to run the country. Genius. This can only end well.

Level 70

Jul 24, 2019

A lot of the bad things Theresa May did were ultimately David Cameron's fault. I'd say he was worse than Theresa May, at least in his second term.

Level 78

May 3, 2021

And yet Boris Johnson and his Party are both consistently leading in the polls.

Level 84

Aug 3, 2022

The fat albino Turk is thankfully no more - not quite as massive a liar as that orange freak over the water, but thoroughly dishonest nonetheless. Good riddance to bad rubbish!

Level 74

Sep 7, 2022

Even better news, we've got Liz Truss now.

Jesus.

Christ.

Level 72

Sep 10, 2022

I see my Bojo prediction wasn’t too far off the mark.

Not expecting much from Truss, she will (hopefully) lie less than Bojo but the standard of politicians in the UK (and indeed globally) is woefully low at the minute.

Level 58

Nov 4, 2022

And now we live in a world where the lettuce won.

Level 72

Jan 18, 2023

And the Lettuce would have been more use as PM than Liz Truss.

Level 88

Sep 6, 2022

Sounds like endless dissatisfaction. Maybe people should get out and run for themselves.

Level 76

Sep 6, 2022

I agree; jogging would help people feel better about politics.

Level 70

Jul 12, 2016

6 from a Texas hillbilly

Level 47

Jul 14, 2016

it will have to be updated soon. :(

Level 65

Jul 15, 2016

Quite impressed I got 24, although I was helped 'cos here in Scarborough there's an area where all the streets are named after them :)

Level 48

Sep 7, 2016

Ha! An American got more than three! I got ten...

Level 84

Sep 21, 2016

Seems like the Earl of Derby just couldn't decide what he wanted to do with his life.

Level 68

Dec 2, 2016

Didn't get too many, but by randomly picking common names like Brown, Smith, Campbell, George, Wilson, I got a few more!

Level 36

Dec 4, 2016

10/54

Level 36

Dec 4, 2016

12/54

Level 21

Jan 20, 2017

i got 2

Level 56

Sep 11, 2017

I think it reasonable that Americans would know Prime Ministers who had a lot of contact with Americans because of world events. The best example of this is the relationship between Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt, but all of the World War Prime Ministers are reasonably well known for various reasons (Asquith, Lloyd George, Chamberlain, Churchill and Atlee). Thatcher and Blair received ample American press coverage, and John Major was a principal American ally during Desert Shield/Desert Storm.

Level 46

Oct 4, 2017

0/54 :)

Level 65

Nov 17, 2017

Most of these are just New Zealand and Australian cities

Level 83

Mar 21, 2018

I wonder if the fact that almost half of quiz takers get the Earl of Derby is a result of people just randomly guessing 'Smith'.

Level 31

Mar 27, 2018

Almost certainly.

Level 66

Apr 28, 2018

That's how I got him.

Level 82

Jul 28, 2019

Ah, I was wondering why he's so famous compared to next highest guesses.

Level 55

Nov 25, 2021

Yes, me too - higher than Robert Walpole and even Earl Grey. That must be it.

Every time I do this quiz I miss out some obvious ones - this time it was Robert Peel, who is practically mentioned in the preamble...

Level 36

May 13, 2018

24 and I'm British, knew a lot of them were lords and dukes of various places so just started naming towns and cities and got quite a few.

Level 74

May 28, 2018

Honestly everyone should be able to figure out there was a guy named Peel from looking at the political parties key. Guessing "Smith" gets you another free one.

Level 88

Jun 25, 2018

Don't half these putzes have their own name or do they just want to be remembered to history as the same Duke of Potsie as the ones a century prior and in the future?

Level 37

Jul 16, 2018

This Englishman got 44 but I think I was helped by the fact that my son had to do some research on British PMs a few days ago. Never knew homework could have a positive effect.

Level 65

Dec 17, 2018

Funny that so many people in the comments have to state that they are american. In other quizzes you dont see nearly as many comments saying, "but im not american" (mostly none, but sometimes a few)

Level 64

Sep 13, 2022

The subheading for this quiz mentions something about Americans.

So, of course, we have to get all indignant. ;)

Level 58

Feb 6, 2019

Level 70

Jun 2, 2019

This will need an update in a month or two as Theresa May is resigning this Friday. She will remain prime minister until the new Conservative Party leader is elected.

Level 70

Jun 5, 2019

Nigel Farage is preparing!

Level 30

Jun 5, 2019

Where is Lord Blackadder?

Level 53

May 24, 2020

Very funny!

Level 59

Apr 13, 2021

He was a prince, a member of the aristocracy, the valet to the Prince Regent, and an officer in the British Army: he wasn't PM.

Level 85

May 28, 2022

And where's Jim Hacker?

Level 49

Jun 22, 2019

Finally memorized them all.

Level 49

Jun 22, 2019

Should be Marquess of Salisbury, not Marquis of Salisbury.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Gascoyne-Cecil,_3rd_Marquess_of_Salisbury

Level ∞

Jun 22, 2019

Okay, fixed

Level 49

Jul 20, 2019

Got 18. Missed some obvious ones but can never remember Dukes and Lords!

Level 70

Jul 23, 2019

Unfortunately needs to be updated to include Boris Johnson (he will become the PM tomorrow).

Level 68

Jul 23, 2019

Ruined a perfectly good quiz!

Level 70

Jul 23, 2019

In fairness the quiz already had quite a few answers that were to say the least unfortunate.

Level 42

Jul 24, 2019

Got only Churchill, but unlike other comments I am not American.

Level 43

Jul 24, 2019

As an American I'd generalize that we know 5 (Johnson, May, Cameron, Thatcher, Churchill)

Level 83

Jul 24, 2019

I think the average American over 30 would at least know Churchill, Thatcher, Blair and May. With many being able to name Cameron, Brown, Chamberlain, Major, Disraeli, and Boris. And a few being able to name some others.

Level 71

Jul 25, 2019

I think Americans will remember Boris Johnson pretty well for being the British equivalent of a certain US political figure...

Of course, they aren't exactly the same, but they do have their similarities

Level 83

Aug 9, 2019

I heard it said that Boris only pretends to be stupid, so as to be endearing or as a political ploy. Trump tries (and fails) to look smart, but is in reality spectacularly stupid.

Level 50

Oct 3, 2019

^ This I agree is the main difference between them. I'm not sure which one is scarier, Trump because he is so stupid, or Boris because he's actually pretty clever in some ways, but plays dumb to fool everyone.

Level 70

Jul 24, 2019

I hope that Mr. Johnson will finally table all this Brexit nonsense and get to the people's business which is bringing forward the much needed motion of declaring Oasis the greatest British band since The Beatles and that Liam Gallagher can sod right off.

Level 79

Nov 3, 2022

This comment aged like milk.

Level 83

Jul 24, 2019

How did Johnson get elected? I thought he was deeply unpopular. Is he liked by conservatives?

Level 70

Jul 24, 2019

He wasn't elected by the general population, only by the Conservative Party. And yes, he is liked by conservatives.

Level 83

Jul 24, 2019

I understood the procedure just surprised that anyone likes him. But I'm still surprised daily by the amount of support Trump gets from Republicans.

Level 70

Jul 24, 2019

It is at least partially because he was one of the leading figures in the campaign to leave the EU. Jeremy Hunt supported remain. And there is the Trump-ness aspect as well. There are many similarities between Johnson and Trump, though obviously Trump is worse.

Level 78

Jul 24, 2019

I guess many people support him because "politicians are all corrupt and politics is a farce anyway". They feel that guys like Trump and Johnson "bring some fresh air" and construe their lack of manners and low intellectual level as "being honest".

Level 70

Jul 30, 2019

Ironic, then, that Trump and to a lesser extent BoJo are two of the least honest politicians I can think of.

Level 78

Jul 30, 2019

Hence the ironic quotes.

Level 75

Aug 12, 2019

Johnson does not have a 'low intellectual level' - he was educated at Eton and Oxford! He is actually a very intelligent man who convincingly plays a person more stupid for the popularity - a difficult act to pull off!

Level 83

Oct 5, 2019

Common tactic by fascists and other dishonest people. Liars will try to get you to believe that everyone lies. The corrupt will try to convince you that everyone is corrupt. Those detached from reality will try to get you to believe in alternative facts or that everything is subjective and partisan.

Level 78

Nov 29, 2019

markasol - you are right about Johnson.

Level 84

Jul 24, 2019

He's hugely popular amongst Conservatives, though detested by many of them too. Last poll I saw found him still to be the most popular Conservative in the country at large too, and the Tories are terrified of getting wiped out at the next election so, despite him being a loose cannon, they are playing it safe in a way. Not sure if his schtick translates at all internationally but he has a certain articulate but bumbling charisma that people here seem to warm to in spite of his many flaws and frequent gaffes. And after a string of charisma-free vacuums for PM it's totally possible that people will choose to vote for Bojo the clown come election time. Everything's felt like a circus for the last few years anyway...

Level 72

Jul 24, 2019

Bojo or Corbyn. That's really not much of a choice at all. In an ideal world you would tell both parties to go away and come back with sensible leaders.

I got 35/55. I live in Australia. But no one knows anyone but Thatcher, Johnson, Churchill, and Chamberlain... Just me!

Level 26

Jul 22, 2021

Well, I got 50/55 and I'm English, the other five I didn't know. Everyone must know Johnson, Thatcher and Churchill?!

Level 60

Aug 20, 2021

4/55

Most Americans only know three

I AM NOT MOST AMERICANS!

(I am not even American, am 1/2 Filipino 1/2 Chinese)

Level 82

Sep 8, 2022

I feel like you're being overly proud about what is really not that great a result.

Level 63

Sep 14, 2021

I am shocked that Sir Robert Walpole (the first PM) is as far down as it is.

Level 47

Sep 24, 2021

Got 50/55, only PM since the 20th century I missed was Balfour

Level 69

Nov 21, 2021

Lord North is probably the only one Americans are more likely to get than Brits. We learned about him in our units on the Revolution.

Level 58

Nov 25, 2021

I watch the Simpsons, so Barney Gumble has taught me three of them...

Level 76

Nov 26, 2021

"Dimwitted inbred nonce" should be accepted for most of them.

Level 47

Jan 4, 2022

Surprised Lord Palmerston and Pitt the Elder (and therefore Younger) aren't more guessed lol.

Level 47

Jan 4, 2022

Got 15. Would've been 12 if not for the Simpsons.

Level 45

Mar 15, 2022

I got 39! Yay, by the way I just guessed last names for some of them

Level 21

May 31, 2022

Annoying that I'm asked to name the Prime Ministers, but then it changes the names to their titles!

However, helping me brush up on my history.

The only one that I forgot was Balfour, so not a bad first attempt.

Thanks for your time and effort in creating this quiz.

Level 54

Jul 7, 2022

Update will almost certainly be needed soon. One of the most dramatic and biggest implosions in Downing Street's history.

Level 54

Oct 14, 2022

Yeah, I didn't think British politics could get any messier. Turns out it can.

Level 54

Oct 20, 2022

It got even messier again. Quiz will need to be updated soon.

Level 57

Jul 28, 2022

I’m surprised Lord North is so low, at least from an American perspective! We learned about him a lot in the context of leading up to the revolution

Level 59

Aug 16, 2022

This quiz needs to be updated soon in light of Boris Johnson resigning.

Level 63

Sep 5, 2022

About to be updated. And every time around you think it can't possibly get worse...

Level 71

Sep 7, 2022

I suspect it will need updating again soon

Level 63

Sep 7, 2022

We can but hope...

Level 71

Oct 20, 2022

Looks like you were both right. And I thought you couldn't get any worse than Boris Johnson. Let's hope the next Prime Minister is a real functioning adult.

Level 33

Sep 5, 2022

With the results, Liz Truss is a soon-to be PM, better update soon.

Level 84

Sep 6, 2022

It's official now.

Level 60

Sep 7, 2022

American, got 13, including some help from The Simpsons and Family Guy for Pitt the Elder, Lord Palmerston, and Benjamin Disraeli

Level 58

Sep 7, 2022

Barney Gumble and Wade Boggs gave me 3 of them...

Level 87

Sep 7, 2022

English here. I’ve had to retake this a couple of times in recent years, so i’m up to 54/56 now i’ve scraped the rust off. I suspect i’ll be doing all this again soon! One more go to get those remaining 2.

Level 71

Sep 7, 2022

Given the fast turnover rate of recent British Prime Ministers, I think most Americans probably know more than 3 by now!

Level 67

Sep 7, 2022

I wonder who will be the next PM in 2025.

Level 87

Sep 8, 2022

It’ll be sooner than that. I give it a year.

Level 66

Oct 20, 2022

A year was rather generous of you, as it turns out ;-)

Level 67

Nov 2, 2022

Either Keir Starmer or Angela Rayner with any luck

Level 61

Sep 8, 2022

I kept futilely typing Harriet Jones.

Level 21

Sep 8, 2022

I named 8 as a Guatemalan American

Level 55

Sep 8, 2022

I don't even know why I tried this, lol

Level 74

Sep 9, 2022

The average score is 18, I pressed give up on 43 and only got 4 points!?

Level 49

Sep 9, 2022

I believe you need to get either 100% correct or be in the top 5% to get 5 points.

Level 74

Nov 5, 2022

Yeah, I pressed give up thinking I had surely made it into the top 5%!

Level 43

Sep 9, 2022

If not by the comments, I would only guess Liz Truss, Boris Johnson, Theresa May, Margaret Thatcher, Winston Churchill, and the I'd give up lol

Level 36

Sep 21, 2022

I'm not even an island mon... erm, Bri'ish, but I did guess somewhat better at around 25 or so on first try.

But essentially all those people only referred to by them being the Duke of Witherchestershirehamington or whatever I had no clue about.

But come on, people like Sir Robert Walpole, John Major and Clement Attlee are really not that hard to recall, are they? ^^

Level 77

Oct 7, 2022

Is that Inselaffe you were about to say??

Level 60

Oct 20, 2022

And... here we go again

Level 53

Oct 21, 2022

Liz Truss has resigned, becoming the shortest-serving prime minister in British history.

Level 48

Oct 22, 2022

Yeah. From what I hear, she was terrible. Like why does she lower taxes for rich people and not poor people?! The poorer people need the money way more than the rich people who 1 of them makes enough money to feed an entire town for a month!

Level 86

Oct 27, 2022

Good thing the next Prime Minister won't do that! :)

Level 67

Nov 2, 2022

Shortest serving and most useless...so far! Let's see how Sunak get's on if they are not going to let us have an early general election

Level 48

Oct 22, 2022

I'm American. I got 4, and then just started typing in common British names. :D*

Does that :D even look like a smiley face?

Level 87

Oct 24, 2022

Due for yet another appearance of this one. (As soon as Rishi Sunak is invited to form a Government by King Charles III tomorrow.)

Level 48

Oct 24, 2022

You’ve probably already hear about this, but Liz Truss resigned her position as the prime minister, so you should probably update this quiz.

Level 33

Oct 25, 2022

Well, Rishi Sunak is the new PM, yes, Liz Truss DID only last a month and a couple days in office.

+12

Level 53

Oct 25, 2022

Rishi Sunak is now the official Prime Minister.

Level 58

Oct 26, 2022

yeah i think they know mate

Level 63

Oct 26, 2022

Quiz to be updated in about 5 minutes, if the last weeks are anything to go by

Level 84

Oct 27, 2022

I'm surprised that so few got Lord Palmerston. Does no one watch The Simpsons?

Level 87

Oct 28, 2022

48/57 on first attempt. (But it was only a couple of months the last time I did this.) 20th Century is easy. In fact I know everyone back to Balfour by rote. Most 19th and over half 18th. I’ll have memorised the rest by lunchtime and then I can start forgetting again!

Level 82

Oct 28, 2022

How about *This quiz will be updated at most once a year*

Level 74

Nov 1, 2022

Don't wanna waste my time so I'll wait a week or two before retaking this quiz...

Level 79

Nov 3, 2022

Musical chairs in 10 Downing St!

Level 79

Nov 3, 2022

Darn it, forgot Walpole and Perceval!

Level 83

Nov 4, 2022

I got 44 this time. Forgot stupid John Major... but... good enough. Not going to get that 5th point without cheating.

Level 29

Nov 4, 2022

pls new pm every day so i can get more than half of them

Level 47

Nov 7, 2022

i came here just for a badge

Level 60

Nov 18, 2022

It never ceases to amuse me that there was a prime minister named Bonar Law. I've read or heard his name so many times, and it never stops being funny to me.

Level 34

Dec 5, 2022

I am Italian and I only know Chruchill. Too much knowledge

Level 29

Dec 8, 2022

You should accept Uncle Bob for Salisbury.

Level 19

Feb 13, 2023

100%

Level 73

Oct 1, 2023

Thank you, The Crown, for helping me get the few points I did get. (In my own defen[s|c]e, I'm American and y'all seem to have a new PM every fourth Tuesday these days. Liz Truss' staff didn't even have to change the bog roll before she was out.)
