Returns to government

Have the rules changed recently to make it the total time served in office rather than the current period? I can't otherwise see why Berlusconi's earlier periods means he overtakes Merkel, Harper, Sarkozy, Brown and Medvedev, yet in earlier years Trudeau didn't regain the position in 1980-1984.

Probably because it's an unofficial title and there are actually no rules. Whoever has done the most recent editing has decided to count Berlusconi's entire time in office; whoever put together the original list didn't include Trudeau's entire time in office after 1980. So it's totally arbitrary. If the article is going to stay it should be corrected for the sake of consistency. Either add Trudeau as senior leader from March 4, 1980 - June30, 1984 or name Merkel as senior leader now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sddavis63 (talk • contribs) 03:38, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
