Huh

Other than the bolded, the others look reasonable.  Though 1) Isn't Merkel going to retire at some point?  She's really going to be chancellor for 11+ years?  2) I don't know that Abbott will last that long, given how frequent party coups have become in recent years here in Oz.  Maybe he'll get replaced by Joe Hockey or something by then.


Harper, not Cameron (doubt the Canadians would want British leftovers Wink ) I think Merkel will accept one more term.
I really, really hope somebody will oust Abbott, but since he is the current Liberal leader he is the most realistic bid.

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

I think Merkel is going to break Adenauers record.

Marine LePen will never be elected President of France.

N.E.V.E.R

I think it is fairly certain she will reach the second round. If her opponent is Sarkozy turnout could get really low and le Pen would be favoured in that scenario.

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.
