German chancellors (especially CDU ones) have the awful tendency to stick around forever.

...prime minister of Australia? - Rudd

Nope.  Looks like that won't happen.  Tongue

Who knows? He might lose and retake the ALP leadership 15 times before the 2016 election, and might well win them anyway. Tongue

...president of the United States? Betting on Jeb Bush now. I still have a hard time seeing the Dems win for a third time in a row.
...chancellor of Germany? At this point, it's anybody's guess. If Hannelore Kraft is in, I believe she has a decent shot in 2017.
...president of France? Jean-François Copé seems the most likey... Let's brace ourselves.
...prime minister of the UK? Still believe in Ed Miliband
...prime minister of Canada? Justin Trudeau
...prime minister of Australia? Why not Bill Shorten then?

I won't say "never", but she almost certainly won't win in 2017.

I would have thought going up against someone as hated as Sarkozy would be her big chance.

Low turnout and possibly even left-wing support could help her do pretty well (perhaps as much as 45%) but the share of people who would never support her is still slightly above 50% at this point. Come 2022, anything will be possible.

Two of them are already proven wrong, and another in all but name. I got Trudeau right, and I guess Merkel and Turnbull might still work out (though hopefully not!).

Narrator: Turnbull did not work out.

I've grown increasingly uninterested in predictions over the last few years, so I don't think I'll be engaging in this thread again.

I notice no one has questioned my pick of Marine Le Pen as the next French President yet...

I mean, you're obviously wrong, but this thread is such a weird concept that it doesn't feel worth addressing.

If the Americans voted out Trump by a 5%-margin, the French will not elect LePen ...

There are certainly strong reasons for thinking it might not happen, but "look at America" maybe isn't one given that we are talking about *France* here Wink

"If the Americans voted for Reagan by a 10%-margin, the French will not elect Mitterrand..."
