This fall the USA has mid term elections, and most of the 'Democracies' can have a vote of no confidance almost any time to force an election. Even without that some of them will have elections this year as I understand it.
I can't seem to find it this morning but in the last week someone posted a link to an IEA report projecting fuel shortages in the second half of this year.
If we get fuel shortages we get rationing, or price spikes, or both. This usually has bad effects for whatever political party is in power at the time. How do you think this will play out where you live later this year?
In the US in my experience the party of the President tends to get the blame for whatever goes wrong on a large scale so if things are bad before the mid term elections in November his party often loses many of the election races on the state and federal levels.
