Also their Prime Minister’s residence isn’t a rotting, rat infested hovel that no one wants to pay to fix up, so there’s that.
I don't know about rats, but there is the Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office, and I assume that it's not a mere sinecure.
Put some respect on Larry's name! He's been through like 8 prime ministers at this point.

Wikipedia has a list for various countries, including the UK and Canada, and the Chief Mouser isn't on there, so I think it's reasonable to assume that he actually does do work.
The Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, on the other hand, does make the list.
