Coming up in 2022...
Welcome to 2022, readers, which we should all hope is a much better and freer year than the last, not only in Britain but elsewhere across the world.
Political events to watch out for in 2022:
1. The French presidential election-how much has the shine really worn off Emmanuel Macron?
2. A snap election in Portugal, where Antonia Costa's coalition is standing on shaky ground. Will it hold on against the odds?
3. Can a big tent liberal-progressive-traditional conservative coalition finally oust Viktor Orban from the post of Hungarian PM?
4. Will the Republican advance be pushed back in the first set of US midterm elections in President Joe Biden's tenure?
5. The United Kingdom local elections-and Greater London's councils could see a substantial shake up with so many new ward boundaries for said councils (all borough councils in Greater London that did not have ward boundary changes in 2014 or 2018 will have them for this May). We also wave goodbye to three more county councils-Cumbria, North Yorkshire and Somerset County Councils will have their final set of elections this May before new unitary authorities take over.
Of course, there are many other elections taking place this year, and the Northern Ireland Assembly election will also be one to watch.
