2029, European Leaders

[Lechasseur]

The only ones I feel relatively comfortable predicting are Germany and Russia

Germany: Armin Laschet (CDU), age 68
Russia: Vladimir Putin (United Russia), age 77

9 years from now is just too far to predict elsewhere

[Lechasseur]

UK: Keir Starmer (Labour), age 67

Yeah I can definitely see that being the case as well

So that's a third prediction I could put on my list

[Lechasseur]

Austria: Michael Ludwig (SPO), age 68
Belgium: Diana Nikolic (MR), age 51
France: Arnaud Montebourg (PS), age 67
Germany: Jens Spahn (CDU), age 49
Ireland: Leo Varadkar (FG), age 50
Italy: Carlo Calenda (PD), age 56
Netherlands: Carola Schouten (CU), age 52
Russia: Sergey Kiriyenko (Independent), age 67
Spain: Maite Pagazaurtundúa (Cs), age 64
United Kingdom: Tom Tugendhat (Conservative), age 56

Lol.
This dude is retired, he is a honey producer now (seriously)

Yeah

The only PS politician I could imagine being president is Anne Hidalgo, and even then it doesn't mean I necessarily think she ever will be.

But yeah Montebourg is retired, he'll never come back on the political scene.

I think whoever's president of France in 2029 will very much depend on what happens in 2022. My feeling is if Macron is reelected, the person who wins in 2027 will probably be someone no one even knows yet.
