It's even easier, although too slow for TV drama, if you can persuade a British style government to do the right kind of stupid thing. Of the seven Prime Ministers since 1978, when I started taking notice of these things, two have brought themselves down through decisions they took freely, but which looked foolish to many at the time, four have contributed significantly to their own downfall, and the seventh is still in office.
