No need, I'm aware. Note that I said "head of government", not "head of state", and used Churchill, who was PM under the king as one of my examples. I already knew you were right about the joys of reading comprehension, but this just reaffirmed it!

Wasn't responding to you there.

You've got to be clearer with the point you're making, give me topic sentences or something if you're writing paragraphs. It's not clear what point you're actually making.
I do believed I did myself clear, but I can repeat - in civil war popularity of a leader is a commodity itself, and quite a big commodity, because popularity helps not to fight somebody who would join (or, at least, won't join your enemy).

Also I'd like to point out that based on where Paradox is putting von Mackensen he's going to be more than a figurehead, note how King George VI isn't the "leader" of Britain or the commonwealth.
Yup. That's actually bad, as it's bad in Soviet case. It was another way in HoI3 I believe.
I think that's because it was simpler to show and change premiers that to do the same with PMs. I hope in further addons they would implement KR minister system.
