My 5
1. After losing a very winnable 2016, the GOP will re-invent themselves (ala Clinton 92) to stop President Hilary Clinton's reelection. Due to their disadvantages in demographics and the electoral college, their victory is somewhere between narrow and modest.
2. A UMP/LR victory in France 2017 doesn't stop the rise of the FN who will finally transform their popular support into seats in PACA and NPDC-Picardie, if not other parts as well.
3. The Cambodian People's Party will face more protests and turmoil, esp. from their young population. Their vote fixing may not stop the Cambodian National Rescue Party from winning their second first election*yikes*.
4. Regardless of who wins in Cambodia, they will sign the TPP.
5. Meat consumption will continue to decline in Western countries and the negative envirornmental impact will finally enter public debate, albiet on the fringe and/or local level. (Probably wishful thinking on my part)
Response to DavidB.
1. Agree. The Euro will become less popular but still lives.
2. Also agree..... maybe Denmark or Austria out of the ones listed.
3. Mixed. I think they will increase in many nations but at the cost of other social issues instead of economics. Economics will always be important.
4. Yeah... I don't see Israel/Palestine become peaceful anytime soon.
5. Yes but I think another terrorist attack is more likely elsewhere, perhaps France again?
