I think the question is a good one. It's not often noted that many countries change their cabinets on a frequent basis. One could look only at Italy in terms of the number of times they've changed. We deal with the government of the day; as long as we consider that government to be our counterpart, how a prime minister organizes his cabinet and who is in it is entirely up to that state. We just accept, when they ask us for something, that we will try to live up to it.
