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.

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'

For once, they aren't lying when they say "this year is the most important election year."

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'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.

Romania has 4 types of elections: -Presidential -Parliamentary -Local -Euro-parliamentary It will be cool to see a video about it!

I want to congratulate Putin in advance for winning the 2024 election

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.

Seeing KMT as the Beijing friendly option is so weird considering they were fighting the communists in the 1930s and 40s

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

India definitely needs a seperate video, perhaps Indonesia too

You should make a dedicated video regarding the 4 rounds of elections in Romania in 2024 . We are literally voting for everything this year, may be an unique case in the world !

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

Majority of people here in india know election results, the question is will they cross 400 seats 😂

I don't think the Russian election is any election to look out for. The result is basically predetermined

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.

Indian opposition criticising modi of bad economic decisions is just hilarious

definitely should follow up on this with dedicated videos after each election!

There are great chances of Narendra modi coming back to power in India this election

Ah yes, Belarusian, Russian, and Iranian elections. A staple of democracy.

1:27 Chiang Kai-shek is having a seizure in his grave

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. PM MODI again for Bharat in 2024 🇮🇳🥳🎉

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.

Thanks to Rahul Gandhi, Modi will get elected pretty much easily.

Finally South Africa's election this year has been mentioned😅

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.

As an indian, I want to tell you that Modi will be back again for third term because there is literally no one who is on par with Modi in terms of work, reputation and the smartness. The opposition leader is literally a laughing stock! India needs strong opposition in order to accelerate the growth, but opposition fight on very pity and baseless topics rather than doing proper critical work and actually doing the development!

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.

This is probably the first election in South Africa's history where the result is genuinely uncertain

2024 the year of elections but Indian General Election is one of the most important ones

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. Personally the elections I'll look out for are the US, Mexico, and Uruguay

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%.

Covering Puerto Rico’s election would be cool, even if it’s just included in a longer US election video.

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

The austrian election should get a video because the election is very crazy

Really wishing Canada had an election this year :/

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.

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

i was looking forward for this!

8:30 bjp js more secular than congress .

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. 😶‍🌫️

I believe people need to pay more attention to the Pakistani elections and the MASSIVE amount of pre-poll rigging that is going on.

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!

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

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!?)

I have a feeling that 2024 is a year that will shock the world. Again.

So impressive the amount of content these guys are pumping out while keeping the quality impeccable 👏

THX U SO MUCH!

Sri Lanka is indeed need to be noticed the hugest election is happening here

I honestly can’t wait for the elections this yesr

That "meant" is doing some very heavy lifting there.

Lmao half the chuffing map lit up! 😂

Yeah the South African election will be important for the whole continent

South Africa. I’m Kenyan and I’m definitely interested in this one.

You should make a video that briefly includes every single election

Yay a focused tldr video

The south African election definitely needs a video, it's gonna be a very interesting year lol

Should talk about Canada and the political support that could help trigger an early election.

Ace video, cheers

I want to see a 4 hour (or longer) video going over every single election happening this year.

Modi asks us to vote for the BJP But the JOKER alliance forces us to vote for BJP

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!

Man we need detailed breakdowns on all these

super interesting video as usual

Would be cool to see you guys cover the Portuguese election on TLDR EU!

Belgians are also heading to the polls this year, but we won't know how that turns out until sometime in 2025

you didnt mention Venezuelas elections, very crucial for the region for its worldwide oil impact and the potential conflict with Guayana

Oh yeah! Something to look forward to.

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.

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.

MAKE A PART 2

wow, that's going to be a massive turn

Thank you for the amazing and very informative video! Could you please make a video about the new PM of France - Gabriel Attal?

Turkey's local elections will be really interesting too

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

The election in belgium will be interesting, definitely would look in to it

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.

Also many other countries will have elections this year, just not to the head of state position (e.g. Brazil wil have regional elections)

The camera lens is foggy. Consider wiping it...

I wonder if you guys are already making a video on Ecuador’s sudden State of Emergency.

Senegal : "oasis of democracy" Also Senegal : Forbid main opposition for running in the election Wtf tldr

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)

Do a video about the Situation in Ecuador Please

Do a video about Finlands presidential elections

Please do a full video on South Africa 🇿🇦

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

Make one about Uruguay!

Ghana has a national election this year. Thought it would be worth a mention

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.

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.

*Don't forget about Republic Of Türkiye: local municipal elections*

Yes, You should have highlighted the South Sudan🇸🇸 election as well

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

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.

I'm sure the election we all look forward to is the one on November 5th.

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

Make an entire video explaining the South African presidential election

I think tunisian elections are definitely something to be talked about since it is the only contry that came out of the arab spring with a functioning democracy and is stable socially and somewhat so economically however what the current president kais saied has done in 2021 has been described by some as a coup d’etat . I would love to see A TLDR video about this matter

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.

You used the Nicaraguan flag for El Salvador...
