I was a bit worried by your first statement (and somewhat reassured by the second). It reminded me of the Netherlands’ prime minister, after having been sent away by parliament and having stayed in office awaiting the arrival of a new government*, half-seriously stating, in parliament: “We can do whatever we like, since we don’t have to care any more about you sending us away”. Now you’re in an even more powerful position within the Snap! realm, as there is no (democratically elected) parliament, just a benevolent dictatorship 
(BTW I read in the Wikipedia article on BDFL that Guido van Rossum resigned, or at least announced he would resign, in 2018)
*in the Low Countries, we have quite a tradition of caretaker governments (off-topic)
Both the Netherlands and Belgium have been governed by coalitions for as long as anyone can remember. There are no electoral thresholds, so many political parties represented in parliament. Complicating things, both countries have major right-wing political parties that are, or were, excluded by most others.
- The Netherlands as a state originated from a mostly protestant uprising against a catholic (Spanish) king, and its people have been hair-splitting (religiously, and otherwise) ever since. There are 15 political parties in parliament (more than 20 last year). The current government offered its resignation almost 8 months ago, general elections were in November, and the formation of a new government will probably take some more months.
- Belgium has two major languages and one minority language. On the federal level, several political movements are represented by a Flemish and an Wallonian political party. Belgium had a caretaker government for two years (2009-2011) awaiting the formation of a new governement (which took a whopping 541 days from the election date, a still-standing world record). A blessing in diguise: with less than 12 million citizens, Belgium has 6 separate governments on a supra-provincial level (not counting the European Commission, in Brussels), so there's always at least someone in charge somewhere.
