Upcoming events
Some future major events in the world the politics.
Presidential debate between incumbent Democrat Joe Biden and former president Republican Donald Trump: September 2024
2025 United States Electoral College vote count: January 6, 2025
Upcoming elections
I've always been really interested in politics and elections, both in the US and abroad. In the second half of 2023 I got interested in Indian and Canadian politics.
The BJP looses it's majority; Modi relies on smaller parties to continue as Prime Minister. The INC officially become the Opposition Party; Tharoor and Gandhi win their own seats.
I tend to agree with George Washington, the 1st and in my opinion one of the best Presidents of the United States, that we should have no political parties or factions in the US. Nevertheless, I understand their importance, but prefer a multi-party system rather than our two-party system. Here are some political parties I would hypothetically support/vote for, or tend to agree with-from outside the US (I identify as a moderate independent on most issues). I find myself agreeing with aspects of a Pirate Party.
Some historical figures I like. Unlike Presidents of the United States (my home country), I think these leaders can/are admired on a global basis rather than a primarily domestic one. I still have some American Presidents here though, but not all my favorites.
