Decision not to become PM

The article currently states:

she unexpectedly declared that she would not seek the position of Prime Minister of Lithuania

From where I'm sitting, calling this development unexpected is not factually accurate. Prior to the election results, it was known that she would have to sacrifice her European Parliament pension if she became Prime Minister of Lithuania, and so the speculation was that she would somehow find a way to decline becoming Prime Minister, even though she had campaigned on that point. That has now come to pass, and so whilst the decision to not take up the PM role is not consistent with what she had campaigned on, it is not necessarily unexpected (at least for anyone who was mindful of the consequence of taking up the PM position, namely loss of the European Parliament pension) as the article currently states.

A better way of phrasing it would be something along the lines of 'she declared she would not seek the position of Prime Minister of Lithuania, despite earlier statements during the campaign she would do so' - as the use of the word 'unexpectedly' in the current context makes an assumption from the point of view of the reader which is not necessarily true. 185.44.74.148 (talk) 00:15, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
