Gotcha risk — resolution-rule assessment

Show full assessmentShow less

This market establishes clear constitutional milestones for resolution: the individual must be formally appointed by the President and confirmed by a parliamentary vote of confidence to form a new government. It explicitly excludes interim or caretaker Prime Ministers who lack parliamentary confirmation, preventing confusion during temporary leadership transitions. The expiration date of December 31, 2027, provides a defined fallback to resolve as 'Other' if no appointment occurs. The primary decider is official government documentation, though secondary reliance on reporting consensus adds a minor layer of discretion if official announcements are delayed.
