My five predictions
1. The Euro still exists and people are still fed up with it, but can't do anything about the Brussels machine
2. A "new right" party has become the largest party in a Western European democracy other than Switzerland (Denmark? Sweden? Austria? Netherlands?)
3. "Identity" issues have become even more politically salient in more countries, at the cost of economic issues (although both are increasingly intertwined as well)
4. Another Intifada has/had been going on in Israel, benefiting absolutely nobody in this universe, worsening everything in the conflict that had already been dire enough
5. Another Theo van Gogh/Charlie Hebdo-like free speech-related Islamist terror attack will have taken/will take place, possibly in Germany, where the situation in regard to immigration will become as polarized as in Sweden
Reply to dead0man:
1. Might be "finally good" but doubt it will already be mainstream, but things go fast, you never know, you could be right.
2. Hmm, don't think so. It is still an attractive place to live. People will cope.
3. Don't think so, but I'm not really updated as to how likely this is.
4. Pretty likely.
5. Extremely likely.
