Lots of unexpected swings in global politics this year — Modi losing his majority, France choosing a far-right coalition, the left crushing it in the UK, and of course the turd sandwich that is the upcoming US election

Only Modi was unexpected

Starmer is victory for centrism, policy platform similar w Obama

Be specific.

I sure didn’t start the year expecting that France would have a far-right PM by summer

This was very expected. Pretty much the whole of Europe has been leaning toward the far right for the last 4 years or so!

Crypto. Geopolitics. Music. Travel. Tech.

How could this be expected? There were no legislative elections this year, it was a snap decision by Macron after the European elections

Personally I saw it as inevitable ever since his reelection,this outcome was bound to happen. France has been a ticking time bomb for the past 6 years. A snap decision had to be made.

Had he not taken action, he wouldn't have survived another 3 years. Even now, his survival remains uncertain!

PS i do not support the far right just observing
