I want to congratulate Putin in advance for winning the 2024 election
Russia needs Islam, Quran and Islamic laws in their country so that their country become more civilised and prosperous.
I believe this can happen in the future because Russia is an ally of Muslim countries, and Islam is the fastest growing religion.
Many people in Europe converting to Islam because Islam is the one and only true religion.
Is this sarcasm?@@LogicMonster
@@LogicMonster I would think you are just baiting comments, but all comments are welcome to TLDR videos 😂
@@LogicMonster lol good joke. europeans are secular
@@LogicMonsterthat's the last thing they need 😅
For once, they aren't lying when they say "this year is the most important election year."
Unfortunately with what the consequences are if these elections go wrong.
@@SS-yj2le That's the worst part. We can't afford to mess up.
"The stakes are too high for you to stay home."
Welcome back Mr Donald trump
You've won American election again
You should definitely cover the European election. Sure, the parliament doesn't have the powers of a regular parliament. But it will probably tilt more right-wing, and populist. Parliament still need to approve the commission, and legislation on the EU level.
They will probably on the TLDR EU channel because they haven‘t mentioned any elections in Europe. So they are keeping it for the TLDR EU channel.
We can only hope that is the case. The left has only caused problems and multiple crises.
The EU parliament has more power then the regular parliaments do. That will be even more true once they remove VETO.
Wait, EU representatives are elected? Huh I thought they were appointed by the leader of the country, like their prime ministers or presidents appointed the EU reps.
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusketWe voted for them in the UK when we were actually in the thing iirc
The South African Election definitely needs its own video. It's such an important time in our history. Many political parties are calling it '2024 is our 1994'
I have heard this too, the problem is that there is no energy in this election. The ANC and DA are treating this as if its another “normal” election while the EFF have weak policies while winning over young unemployed voters and jumping on scandals calling themselves the hero’s.
How can one party drive the country to this level and still have this kind of popularity is beyond my comprehension... They must be really pumping their PR department.
what about it makes it so important? Sorry, i have no idea
@@Daimlerxy_ actually no, the DA is very clear on how critically important this election is - SA's infrastucture has collapsed under the ANC & its economy, once a developed nation, is now even lagging by African standards.
even if black Africans don't want to hear it (& i sympathize) the multi-party charter is the only thing that will save SA
@@NimbleBard48 It's mainly due to low levels of education and people still seeing the ANC as the hero's of apartheid. A lot of people also don't want to vote for the opposition DA (Democratic Alliance) because people view it as a "White party".
We need a very detailed breakdown on the Russian elections. They're so neck and neck it's literally impossible to know who's gonna win it 😢

I think the Putin guy might win.

Putin might lose. But in the end of the day, Putin is the president
@@vablo7198 I wonder how much the payout is if you bet against putin becoming president. It must be 1000s to 1. Honestly if I could turn 5 bucks into a million I probably still wouldn't do it, a total waste of 5 bucks.
I'm an Indonesian. The vice-president currently in office is not Jusuf Kalla, but Ma'ruf Amin. Jusuf Kalla was VP for the previous term (2014-2019). In addition, Anies' pitch was not to continue Jokowi's legacy, in fact quite the opposite; his positioning is as the opposition that heavily criticizes various aspects in which the government is lacking such as democratic backsliding, frivolous spending on new capital, etc.
ya many mistakes on the indonesia front - also Prabowo will be super scary
As long as Prabowo isn't president, it will be good enough.
@@FeyTheBinit would be hard until influencers point out that Prabowo is a militarist maniac he will still be the most likely to win.
@@momytik as a pessimist, Prabowo-Gibran will win easily. why? orang terpelajar kita mlumpuk di kota. tapi yg akan memenangkan pemilihan presiden ini adalah mereka yg di desa. katakanlah orang kita 60℅ hidup di kota. mereka pinter. mereka akan ke Anies atau Ganjar. sementara, 40℅ nya di kabupaten. gampang digobloki. malah bingung kalau denger Anies atau Ganjar ngomong.

Seeing KMT as the Beijing friendly option is so weird considering they were fighting the communists in the 1930s and 40s
Actually, I believe the KMT stance is not exactly reunification with PRC anymore, they do have to secure the younger voters after all. So now they have slightly changed their stance by saying they'll engage with Beijing with the goal of not provoking them, throwing the independence option out of the windows, and soughting to maintain the delicate balance between China-US. Essentially maintaining the status quo. But I'm sorry if I made a mistake, just trying to tell what I've heard before
It is also because the KMT sees themselves as Chinese compared to the progressives who see themselves as Taiwanese
Such an irony and burlesque party
The KMT believe strongly in One China
@@JadeWhite-xf9xqHi, Taiwanese here. No not really. Please watch the newest interview by DW with Ma Ying-Jeou, the ex- KMT president. He literally said “they want unification with China” (*invasion by China, that is) and “we need to trust Xi”. This is infuriating and disgusting behaviour from one of the top man in his party. Anyway, thanks for caring about Taiwan! 😊
The thing is that " opposition is BJP's biggest supporter" is true , this will just make India more fragmented in itself in name of north south , religion and politics hoping this election will leave some good results
"religion"😂
very true
Indian opposition criticising modi of bad economic decisions is just hilarious
Economy is seriously not that good , it's not that bad either.
The main problem is with increasing economy, jobs are not increasing and salaries are almost stagnant
that is the world economy lol, its the same everywhere...other countries are stagnating and geopolitics killed demand. India took years to even start working on its infrastructure, now it needs to reduce red tape and corporate taxes to invite investors but they cannot do that so quickly because again beurocracy is insane in India. The recently changed telecom bill was from 1895 for example...like literally over a century old law.@@sidy6526

Belgium will be another funny election. If things go the way polls predict it to go, it might take another 2 years to form a proper government. This probably won't be affecting a lot of international politics though.

You're describing Mexico as well
Yes bro modi ji hi aaenge😊
The problem is .. all the other parts till now have been very much ignoring the needs the demands of the Majority,
Because they are too busy pampering the minority, there are many issues that need to be fixed,
We need more foreign companies to come to india,
We need a 2 child policy
We need government to step up the game in terms of making the country clean,
NRC and CAA is also must..

And focus more on export.

Title: Lok Sabha Elections of Bharat #ModiKiGuarantee XD
Bjp is coming back to lower
I mean its obvious that BJP is gain coming to power. When it was 2018, I used to see bjp supporter supporting it for its policies and pro bjp channels has very less views and subscriber but now it has increased too much. Earlier it was just about devlopment, now it is about everything religion, culture, policies, and devlopment
Least interesting election in India ever. Everyone knows BJP will win. The only suspense is if they get 290/543 or 320/543.
No need for Indonesia. When you have to choose between an Islamists, militaristic, and a clueless civilian. The winner is quite obvious already
There are great chances of Narendra modi coming back to power in India this election
It's almost guaranteed, but it will be interesting to see if the number of voters increase or decrease
@@Cage66666bihar(4 vs 2 scenario), Maharashtra (uddhav,sharad vs eknath,Ajit) and west bengal(will BJP be able to recover from 2021 debacle) will determine the election's margins.

I don't think the Russian election is any election to look out for. The result is basically predetermined
I wouldn't even call it an election.
in democratic countries - results are not predetermined, but consequences are (stable political system, which adapts according population needs).
In auth.regimes - results are predetermined, but consequences aren't (no feedback loop leads to degradation of the government system and to political instability)
@@zUJ7EjVD if El Salvador gets the title of "having an election when you have a government that arrested a percentage of the population, Putin gets to fly the flag of democracy, technically he has a lower approval rating but he is considered "rigged"
Well, maybe the opposition should present something of higher quality not a bunch of politically correct self rightious liars, puppets of ex oligarchs and foreign agents. Whats this years idi*t ohhh a clout chasing woman who cant even file her documents properly, wow man.
@@chatnoir1224 what you wrote is how things are in theory but not in practice.
Democratic government are hardly stable and the population doesnt really know what they want because most dont really know how a country should be ruled.
In Autocracies- a system can change and adapt because its main goal is holding onto power. Which could lead to drastic measures and reforms being carried out in the most crucial moments in order for said authority to remain in power.
Indian here. Let me break down I.N.D.I. Alliance. Thing is, this is not for securing 1st position in parliament, but second position, i.e. main opposition.
Congress, the oldest and once the largest party (414/543 seats in 1984 general election) in country has been struggling to keep that title since 2014. (44/543 in 2014 and 52/543 in 2019). Also, thanks to his own goof ups and BJP's effective social media reach, the 'supreme leader' of congress, Mr. Rahul Gandhi has been continuously losing popular support. The states that this video tells BJP won, exactly 5 years ago, Congress had won the same states. But voters were fed up within one term.
Next capable in my opinion is TMC, a regional party from West Bengal. Mamata Banerjee, the 'supreme leader' solidified her position by securing majority in her state election (went from 211 seats to 215). In same election, BJP went from 3 to 77 while Congress+Left alliance lost all of 70 seats they had. Peeking into history, Mamata Banerjee's primary rival has been Congress+Left and not BJP. (Actually she had some central portfolios in BJP's 1999 NDA government.)
TLDR, this is about primarily these two parties trying to press down each other to become main opposition in the country, not defeating BJP. Due to this nature of this alliance, they held meetings after meetings (I think 3 big meetings till date) but all they seem to have decided is name and logo. Meanwhile, the members of this alliance are fighting with each other in respective states to get maximum seats in that state. E.g. in my state Maharashtra, there are 48 seats, but congress wants 26 seats, its ally SS(UBT) wants 23 (tell me if math allows that. Also, not to forget other alliance partners such as NCP who wouldn't take anything less than 10-15 seats). Spokespersons of both parties indulged in pretty heated verbal fight just a few days back over these demands.
So, forget if they are fighting together against Modi or BJP, main question is, are they even together and are they fighting?
Update 24/01/2024: Mamata Banerjee said "Won't give more than 2 seats to congress in West Bengal" and latest news is TMC will run independently in West Bengal. That's I.N.D.I.A. alliance for you.
Update: 02/02/2024 TMC, AAP and JDU (who actually took initiative to form I.N.D.I.A.) are out. Left is threatening to fight independently. Only major parties left behind are Congress and DMK. But there are very few constituencies where they can collaborate, others are mutually exclusive. And that's it for I.N.D.I.A.
I more of a VBA guy but congress must make kharge or tharoor as pm face

Rar se vorbește de România pe canalul ăsta totuși cred că de data asta chiar meritam o mențiune având în vedere că în 2024 votăm totul, dar na, presupun că n-am fost suficient de importanți ca să fim menționați
@@ShadowBlitz776 not to diss Romania but it seems that they wanted to emphasise regional powerhouses. Romania's election is important but more in the context of the EU, not like Senegal, a stronghold of democracy in an otherwise chaotic region, or all the others, with serious regional influence. Spoken by a portuguese that also has elections coming march, after a fucked political crisis 😅
Same in Belgium.
Altough we pack them in 1 electionday for federal, regional and European in june and another day in october for local and provincial.
@@ShadowBlitz776 I think the ones in this video are still the most relevant ones. Romania's election might be big, but does not really affect its region or the world in general, as the others do.
For us in South Sudan, we are going to have our very first elections this year in December.
The last elections carried out was in 2010 when we were still the same country with Sudan

Modi is a godsend compared to the BS that we Indians had to put up when dealing with Parties like Congress, AAP etc, who are found in the "INDIA" Alliance, these Parties like Congress are one of the most corrupt parties and have always lied to the people about doing this and that and never even fulfilled half of their promises. BUT, Modi or the BJP has done a great job over fulfilling their promises and the amount of Infrastructure development I have seen happen around me is crazy. The "INDIA" Alliance continuesly put false and baseless accusations like "Economic Mismanagement", like what? India is now one of the fastest growing economies and is doing so many feats in different parts of the economy and these people speak crap like this.

lol just bcos there are no independent watchdogs or mainstream media left in this country, you think corruption has disappeared. The reality is very different though, modi n bjp has sought to legalize corruption and boost crony capitalism by things like electoral bonds, 90% of which go to one single party, no surprises there. Majority of indians are easily swayed by rhetoric, they can be made to believe anything or everything with the right amount of persuasion. The truth is the ruling class has been enabled to put any puppet they want to power and moidi is their current man
definitely should follow up on this with dedicated videos after each election!
South Africa definitely deserves a video. Unless you're the PAP (Singapore), no party can be sitting for more than 30 years in power.
Change is needed in South Africa, a country with so much potential being shackled by the ANC.
no clue how they stayed in power with things only getting worse for so long
Sitting for more than 30 years in power is not that uncommon even without looking at Japan. What's uncommon is sitting for 30 years in power while driving it into the ground.
Yeah, like the comment above said Japan's ruling party the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) pretty much has been in control of post war Japan till now, and the real election is during their party leadership bid with several cliques vying for leadership.
ANC is unique as they stay in power while driving the whole country to the stone age.
INC india lasted for a better part of 60 years
Mexico had the same party for like 70 years

I hope you will delve into the EU elections a lot. EU politics is so important and so incredibly underreported, even here in the EU.
These would be covered in the TLDR EU channel, this is most likely why they were omitted here
Then go to TLDR EU
If it goes the way I kind of expect, it could be one of the last EU elections ever :(
@@akaviri5 The EU elections are one of the most important elections in the world this year, so it shouldnt have been omitted.
@@metyore8341 nah that's extremely unlikely. Really all that the rise of nationalism is in most countries is a rise from a largely irrelevant minority to a significant minority, but a minority none the less. In (practically) every EU country support for the EU is still well over 50%. That doesn't make the trend not concerning (I mean Hitler never got more than about 30% of the vote either, if political stability gets low enough anything can happen), but it's rather alarmist to say the EU is at the point of collapse right now.

The 3 regional elections in germany are certainly something to look out for, they are the first real opportunity for the far right AfD to actually power, despite every other party refusing to go into coalition with them.
Romania might be an interesting topic. The country will have 4 elections this year, being the first time such an event will occur, those being:
-Presidential Elections
-Parliament Elections
-Local Elections
-European Parliament Elections
If i recall correctly, the last one had around 30-35% participation, and the previous ones barely touched 50%.
Not exactly very different than Bulgaria. More people voted, but of them a lot voted with "I vote for no one". I don't know if that is an option in Romania.
But then what do you expect to happen when your country suddenly finds itself in EU without a referendum, unlike all countries that joined before your country?
People just don't believe their vote matters any more.
@@forbidden-cyrillic-handleinteresting points you have presented, I shall approach them individually:
1) I'm really not sure if there is such an option available in our ballots, it's been a while since I have voted. I only know 1 method of not voting with anyone, and that is to use a pen and just draw lines into the ballot paper, that is considered a faulty ballot and therefore not counted. The other way of saying "I don't want to vote for anyone" is to not participate in the voting process, which would imply to not participate at all. Perhaps this is why the participation rate is so low.
2) This is hard to respond, never thought about it actually. In such cases, a high participation in voting is crucial. I'm really not sure whether we had a referendum about joining the EU or not, but there was definitely a vote in parliament about it. So, for example, by voting a party who supports entering the EU is like expressing your desire, as a voter, to have your country join in the EU. Same with the contrary example.
3) I can say that there isn't much interest in politics anymore, tho it used to be a couple of years ago. I recall that there was a survey about the most trusted institutions in Romania, the top 3 were the church, the army and the romanian academy. The most doubtful institutions were the political parties, the parliament, the government and the presidency. And this was a survey, would be interesting to see this applied to the whole population.
But yeah, i hope that i have answered your points, and take into consideration that it's just my personal opinions. :D
Why are they so centralized? Won't it be better if they are voting for different things each year?
@@metkiver5183 Yes, we got that new law making voting "mandatory", but there is no punishment if you don't vote, so about 50% of the people just don't vote. It also added tge option to cast a vote for specifically no one. Like in tests the last option could be "non of the above".
There isn't much difference between that option and using invalid ballot with more than one name selected. The only thing you can see is the number of people who deliberately decided to invalidate their vote. In last election it was like 10%, so if ut was a party they would be in the parlament as the entry barrier is 4%. Obviously many people didn't even bother to go and vote, otherwise that 10% would be a lot bigger.
The problem with voting for a party is that you vote for all their politics, not just the question about entering EU or not. So if you are against entering EU, and the only party that has that option is kinda nuts in every other respect, you are not represented in the Parliament. There is no one who could represent you.
And with such big change it only makes sense when everyone is represented, i.e. do referendum.
@@fullmetaltheoristas i mentioned this is the first time all of these elections will happen in the same year, which is 2024. Up until now, we only had one election in a year, with few exceptions, where we had 2 elections in a year.
We can't discard a surprise this year too. Like Argentina last year, that wasn't on the elections to look for in 2023 and at the end of the year it was being talked about all around the world.

The European election will probably be an important sign for the direction it will take in the world. Both in terms of geopolitics, as well as in terms of social issues, immigration, national identity and integration. I think it definitely deserves its own video
Calling BJP Hindu nationalist is top tier propaganda. Working for restoration of destroying Hindu temples and stopping the oppression on Hindus doesn't make them Hindu nationalist.
BJP party also has made many policies in favour of non-hindu minorities as well.
Thus BJPs and the objectives of Hindus could not be compared to the Christian Nationalists over in the west.
That's why they killed minorities in manipur
Stopping the oppression of hindus people in the land of hindu majority sounds like a pathetic excuse to discriminate the minorities.,
You know what, let's just embrace the Hindu nationalism of BJP, there is no problem with it. the problem arises when it is literally the only determining factor in elections, literally the only thing mainstream news talk about, and yet we refuse to accept.
Modi is doing great, if he could just solve the job crisis, then there will literally be no oppositon
actually the unemployment rate got complicated during BJP mainly due to Covid. Covid really wasn't expected by any economy tbh. I dont think Congress could've done any better during covid. Afterall, from 2008 to 2023 the top 3 least unemployment rates were during 2017,'18 and '19, all BJP ruled. (Source: Forbes, itself from CMIE)@@chetanuniyal3428
Don't forget Modi has been previously the CM of Gujarat, which has recorded extremely low unemployment rates in the whole of India. Even now, a few months back in June-Sept 2023, withing the youth age group of 15-44, Gujarat scored the lowest unemployment rate in the ENTIRE country (source: Times of India). The same was in 2022 as well, where Gujarat recorded the lowest unemployment rate in the labour force across the entire country. I guess Modi will handle the unemployment rate.
Its very weird for me that the Kuomintang, the Nationalist Chinese that lost the civil war against the PRC, are the ones that pursue warmer relations with them.
KMT's goal after the end of Chinese Civil War is to return to the mainland at some point.
They tried to retake the mainland by force called "project national glory". The project was cancelled after the realization that it is impossible to return to the mainland by force (at this point, the PLA is way stronger than ROC Armed Forces).
@@rizaradri316 They do realize they will get wiped out by the CCP the moment China gains control over the island right?
Pakistani elections also needs a devoted video for itself other than the military rule there is massive protest over extrajudicial killings in the Balochistan province and the fragmentation of political power in the country as it seems no single party can form a majority by itself
You forgot to mention that the party with 70% of the country's voterbank is being targeted by the state and the millitary
Balochistan should get more autonomy
If GHQ has already decided to keep Imran Khan out, then why are they wasting money on election?
Everyone knows Pakistan's real capital is Rawalpindi not Islamabad.
The austrian election should get a video because the election is very crazy
They have made a video on the chaos there a few months ago and how it could impact the election
THX U SO MUCH!
I'm a bit worried about the local German elections this year: Several East German states elect new state parliaments, get new state governments, new district councils or new town councils. And with the current government crisis and several new parties on the run, these elections are not only taken as a signal for the coming federal elections in 2025, but also as a turn-around for the whole political landscape... it's pretty unnerving. 😶🌫️
So why are you worried?
💙💙💙
For your own good vote out all politicians who are pro migration. Germany is losing its identity
Isn't there a huge rise in Right-Wing ideology/Fascism in Germany or am I confusing it for somewhere else? I think I saw somewhere that Right-Wing Parties were gaining popularity fast which if true is indeed concerning.
@@Azide.01 right wing yes but fascism no
I believe people need to pay more attention to the Pakistani elections and the MASSIVE amount of pre-poll rigging that is going on.
Yeah the South African election will be important for the whole continent
As of which other countries' elections would have deserved to be mentioned, I wouldn't have minded for this video to continue with all of them!
Keep up the great content!
So impressive the amount of content these guys are pumping out while keeping the quality impeccable 👏
South Africa. I’m Kenyan and I’m definitely interested in this one.
Talk about the Portuguese elections (we have at least 3 this year, Azores, National and European) and it is increasingle likely that the national ones will have to be repeated by September/October!
Why would they be repeated?
@@brudda-py2dga lot of instability, unlikelyhood of forming a government, distrust and no real popular candidates
@@HernasRoom I don't think the recreation of AD helped solidify anything, they made a coalition with dead parties that had no representation in parlament. Chega might have a lot more presence than you think.
I also believe PS will take over again with a coalition on the left, but I think Chega will be the second most voted party this year.
Ace video, cheers
super interesting video as usual
Would be cool to see you guys cover the Portuguese election on TLDR EU!
Similar to ANC, the Indian National Congress, led by Gandhi, hijacked by Nehru, lasted for over 60 years in India without really any challenge. The political movement at brought you freedom gets some leeway I suppose. Well, I am sorry for South Africa, cause this could mean they struggle with ANC for 30 more years. Hopefully, they can be smarter than Indians.
Yay a focused tldr video
That "meant" is doing some very heavy lifting there.
In South Africa is the ANC coalition (Anti-west/Far-Left/Pro-Russia/Pro-China/Pro-communist) vs DA coalition (Pro-west/Left leaning/Pro-Israel/Pro-Democracy). Being a primary member of BRICS it would be interesting to see how a pro-western party would fare if they gained a majority. Some are calling it the most significant election since the first democratic election after apartheid
BRICS is merely an economic alliance though. Even neutral India is in it. It's just about not relying on the U.S. Dollar too much.
Can't believe they've got a pro west party
@@Tarantula.8eyes That's true , but BRICS is still anti-west by design and for China its a tool to help wage economic warfare against the US
@@karankapoor2701 The Anti-west parties are a lot more extremist and therefore receive a lot more media coverage. But its not that clear cut , its a very complex matter
@@karankapoor2701 a lot of South Africans love the West and want to be like the West.
I honestly can’t wait for the elections this yesr
You should make a video that briefly includes every single election
Oh yeah! Something to look forward to.
Can't wait for November elections in Namibia so we can vote for the exact same people the South Africans do for the 7th (one could argue 26th) time in a row🤠🤠🇳🇦🇳🇦 (we will definitely get different, better policy than the South Africans! Right?! RIGHT!?)
Good luck my friend 🇿🇦🤝🇳🇦
@@Jacques10 as to you my friend 🇳🇦🤝🇿🇦
Only difference is, Namibia will probably still be a "one-party" state whereas SA will most likely lose that status. In a way, Namibia might be worse off
I hope at least you get the people you want in office, Love from New Zealand
@@huntah6150 the people that the people want are the problem 😂
I have a feeling that 2024 is a year that will shock the world. Again.
Lmao half the chuffing map lit up! 😂
Man we need detailed breakdowns on all these
Turkey's local elections will be really interesting too
Weren't they already having an election last year?
Thank you for the amazing and very informative video! Could you please make a video about the new PM of France - Gabriel Attal?
I want to see a 4 hour (or longer) video going over every single election happening this year.
wow, that's going to be a massive turn
As an INDIAN i assure you MODI is going to return. Other political parties are just too corrupt and didn't have any policy in favor of our nation.
But they have a big coalition... In a country where policies are not the only thing people look at, it's closer than it appears
@@RajivKumar-xp9qn i would choose 1 corrupt party over 28 corrupt party
As if Modi is looking out for anyone who isn't Hindu nationalist like himself
ah yes passing women's reservation bill and ucc becomes hindu nationalism for you @@pepperswan
Modi's return is inevitability. Only thing to be seen is whether he goes beyond 325, 350 or 400.
The south African election definitely needs a video, it's gonna be a very interesting year lol
Ba re squeez(ee) in mo TLDR industry
MAKE A PART 2
The election in belgium will be interesting, definitely would look in to it
Please do a full video on South Africa 🇿🇦
Sri Lanka is indeed need to be noticed the hugest election is happening here
you didnt mention Venezuelas elections, very crucial for the region for its worldwide oil impact and the potential conflict with Guayana
Belgians are also heading to the polls this year, but we won't know how that turns out until sometime in 2025
Should talk about Canada and the political support that could help trigger an early election.
Not really that significant to international viewers, but back here in Australia we are having 3 state/territory elections this year (potentially a fourth with the way Tasmania is currently looking). The most consequential one is Queensland, as whoever holds Government there has tremendous influence over the climate policy and general economic and social consequences for the next few years in the state. Additionally, with the unicameral parliament they have, it would mean policies would be more easily passed with less scrutiny.
I am from India and used to follow Australian state politics few years back at the time of Adani coal mine protests. Since I used to work at an energy trading company at the time.
Make one about Uruguay!
Do a video about Finlands presidential elections
could be a second video like this, i really liked it, helped me gain perspective on countries that i've never really thought about politically
Also many other countries will have elections this year, just not to the head of state position (e.g. Brazil wil have regional elections)
Ghana has a national election this year. Thought it would be worth a mention
Yes, You should have highlighted the South Sudan🇸🇸 election as well
modi is the real goat. never lost an election in 25 years. now presiding over the fastest growing major economy of the world with 70%+ approval rating.
Indian opposition is one of the most stupid opposition that any country can have. The main leader of the opposition party have lost two times against Modi and is a part of family that was ruling india from 1947 till 2014. The family party just doesn't want to let go of the power from their hands and also give statements that make people hate them even more. They are the reason why Modi will keep winning the elections.
I would consider Modi to be analogous to Vladimir Putin, except considerably less remarkable and less intelligent
The ruling BJP operate seems to be essentially emulating Russia - milking out approval rates by controlling the media and the institutions, promote a ultranationalist narrative and undermine not only the enutre opposition but decry the concept of opposition itself
It seems to me that Modi is nothing more than just the poster boy, I very much doubt he presides over anything policy-related. He seems to have handlers taking care of his every move
he is the real cow.
@@rizkyadiyanto7922womp womp get ready for another tenure of 5 years of wonderful economical and infrastructural development and after that get ready in 2029 to cry once again we aint gonna fell for the Congress trap once again

Just like Kashmir promise of 2019.
Make an entire video explaining the South African presidential election
Africans stuck in the past with rose tinted glasses of mandella and a fear of apartied returning will continue to elect the ANC then complain that nothing has changed. that is the election process
Nice
Why do you use the word corruption only with non-EU countries? Have you forgotten the post-Brexit scandals in our beloved UK? The PPE contracts corruption, the amount of money lost with the Rwanda deal, etc.. We have to be cautious with words
In almost all of these countries, it seems as if the incumbent parties will come back without much challenge. The exception here is the US where nothing can be taken for granted. Biden seems to be in trouble.
You definitely missed the best and most democratic elections of all time, North Korea.
My man has been undefeated and would be seeing his 4th term (his 3rd election as Party Leader)
I was expecting a video where you would have delved into the effects or significance of these elections in Geopolitics but this was just a brief explanation for every country .....could have been better.
Thanks i liked this video.
More on South Africa
Presidental election in Slovakia will be quite interesting (after the armagedon of the last parlamentar election) and even tough I do not live in Slovakie I´m getting worrided.
I wonder if you guys are already making a video on Ecuador’s sudden State of Emergency.
Turning 18 this year and there will be 3 elections here, local mayor elections, national Portuguese elections and the European elections, what a year to vote
Georgian Parliamentary elections of 2024 certainly deserves its own video, as the country has recently been granted a candidate status and 20% of its territory is still occupied by Russia
Georgian Dream still has no competition. They National Movement is divided, the Dream still has their leader in jail and the Dream's shadow leader has come out in public once again. At this point it's as predictable as Russian elections, especially with the current Georgian demographics, and the youth having no voting power...
Awesome video as always, but I have two notes: 1. Khomaini died in 1988/89 the current “supreme leader” is Khamenei (but the mispronunciation is common. 2. The Islamic Republic has already lost legitimacy and is only in power thanks to the IRGC and other military/intelligence style organizations packed with loyalists. Btw I say this as an Iranian residing in Iran.
genuinely curious, who will replace the islamic government when they finally collapse?
Last year a lot of people died for a simple hijab issue . I think in iran Hijab should not matter as the whole country is islamic anyway . A hijab would not make it more islamic .
Also given iran huge natural resources, they can gain a lot if current political system is abolished.
They can become the most powerful country in that region with the highest GDP . Probably will easily cross the 2.5 trillion$+ mark
You should for sure cover the EU Parliment election as well as the one in Venezuela
Do a video about the Situation in Ecuador Please
