Not really. The 'leader' of the Netherlands for all political purposes is the Prime Minister, not the king. You are mixing up leader with head of state. The latter can be a completely meaningless role fulfilled by a paid actor such as in our case, whereas the nominal leader may look like a paid actor, but tends to have actual power and some form of accountability.
I think it was a political remark on Boris Johnson.
One could make the argument that omitting the Prime Minister from the list of leaders is actually correct.
One usually has a prime minister as the head of cabinet and the executive branch via the rest of the ministers. What argument could one make to say a prime minister is not a leader, since the actual argument is missing from your comment?

It also lost tracks of who runs Italy, it still reports the Giuseppe Conte government but it is almost an year he has been replaced by Mario Draghi's one.

> leader with head of state I am not a native speaker - what is the difference between these two words?
The leader of a country is the person leading it, e.g. a president, prime minister, or similar.
Sometimes the term head of government is also used, which I think is usually the same as the leader of the country.
Pure chaos.

In e.g. a monarchy, the head of state is the king or queen. In many monarchies these days, this person tends to have very little actual power. The leader of a country is the person leading it, e.g. a president, prime minister, or similar. Sometimes the term head of government is also used, which I think is usually the same as the leader of the country.

Hiding in fridges for a start.
I wonder if it would be worth separating US states rather than putting all the US state governors inside the USA. They all have many other state-level positions, it would be good to list those in an organised way.
I'm only looking at the https://peppercat.org/ site - I haven't checked the underlying data structure in WikiData, but maybe a fully hierarchical structure is needed. That would also enable adding data about e.g. members of parliament / congress, and to city and council levels by drilling down.
