In 2024, people voted in countries that were home to almost half the world’s population. Votes took place at a time of global unrest, with conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East, and cost-of-living crises in many countries after the COVID-19 pandemic rippled out into supply chain shortages and high inflation.

Many elections were disputed and some sparked protests from those who felt their voices had not been heard.

Nationalistic ideologies gained ground in elections across Europe. Elsewhere, incumbents fell as voters punished them for painful price rises. Britain’s Conservatives and Japan’s Liberal Democrats received a drubbing. In the United States, Republican Donald Trump beat the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris to return to the White House. Across the border, Mexicans voted in Claudia Sheinbaum, the first woman ever to run the country.

In India, a multi-stage election featured over 1 million polling stations. Narendra Modi won a third term as prime minister but saw his majority shrink. It was the largest election in history.

  1. All the comments read in the starting are biased. All against the leaders who are liberal order. This show is biased towards liberalismm no comments supporting these leaders, inspite of the fact that they are hugely supporters by their countries and UK is the only country with which liberals are happy about.

  2. I would like to see the success of ministers of Environment get judged by how much new renewable energy they introduce in giga watts and how much reduction of subsidies on fossil fuel the achieve.
    I would like to see introduction on a deposit on more recyclable materials like plastic, bottles, cans, batteries and even harmfull gases. You bring it back you get paid.
    I would like to see regional electricity pricing like in Sweden where regions with hydro, wind and solar profit from lower electricity prices.
    happy new year

  3. "We do not have a South Korea expert", proceeds to give a detailed description of what is happening in South Korea. It's like that Daily Show skit where they say Ronny knows about South Korea just because he's asian.

  4. The narrative shared by Kevin Casas Zamora, I doubt it’s his true believe, is the narrative that the oposición alliance is spreading about Mexico nationally and internationally, at a very high financial cost paid for by powerful international financial interests. It is clear that Kevin is a neoliberal lobbyist. Too bad for Costa Rica, I am just a citizen, not a professional in politics nor a journalist but it’s clear to me that Kevin is nothing but a puppet of the the neoliberal system, what he said about Mexico and democracy is pure garbage. Good thing you notice that he does not like democracy.

  5. The misinformation and naked Leftist bias of most State media have caused far more distrust & defiance among the electorate than anything produced online….( It amazes me that the Left still haven’t figured this out 🙂
