Four years from today, who will be.....?

[Middle-aged Europe]

No, Angela Merkel won't be Chancellor four years from now. It's an open secret that she intends to retire by 2017 at the latest and is already setting up Urusla von der Leyen as her hand-picked successor.

She's already working on an exit.

I totaly disagree with you on that. Nobody knows whether Merkel will retire by 2017 and von der Leyen is very unpopular in her own party. I'd rather say Thomas de Maizière will be the next Chancellor either 2017 or 2019.

POTUS: ?
Chancellor of Germany: CDU ?
France: Nicolas Sarkozy
UK PM: David Cameron
Canada: Stephen Harper
Australia: Tony Abbott

...president of the United States? Betting on Jeb Bush now. I still have a hard time seeing the Dems win for a third time in a row.
...chancellor of Germany? At this point, it's anybody's guess. If Hannelore Kraft is in, I believe she has a decent shot in 2017.
...president of France? Jean-François Copé seems the most likey... Let's brace ourselves.
...prime minister of the UK? Still believe in Ed Miliband
...prime minister of Canada? Justin Trudeau
...prime minister of Australia? Why not Bill Shorten then?

If Jeb Bush were the nominee, he'd have a shot at winning, but I just don't see how he could make it thru the primaries.  The GOP is still in denial that their message played at least as great a role in their loss in 2012 as their messenger did.  Their stance on social issues plays well with their base, but loses in a national general election.  By 2016, they won't be able to successfully run nationally on repealing the ACA, and while they might be able to run in the general election on replacing it, their base in the primaries and their safe Congressional seats is still going to insist on repeal.  It looks doubtful that the economy will take a severe enough turn to the worse to give the GOP enough traction on economic issues to win the White House running on those.

Australia- Prime Minister; While I think the Liberal Party will remain in power for the next four years  I find it unlikely that Tony Abbott will be Prime Minister in four years. My guess is the next Prime Minister will be Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop, New South Wales Liberal Party Leader Mike Baird Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Education Minister Christopher Pyne or Health Minister Peter Dutton


Canada- Prime Minister; I'm probably not going out on much of a limb here... but I'm pretty certain Thomas Mulcair the next Prime Minister of Canada.

U.K Prime Minister- David Cameron loses his coalition partners but picks up enough seats on his own to hang on.

France- President; Nicolas Sarkozy

Germany- Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel

President of the United States; If Hillary Clinton is the Democrats nominee they win. Otherwise the Republicans could nominate Vidkun Quisling and win.

Whoops forgot about you guys.

My guess is most likely Trudeau, but anything can happen what with redistributions and left wing splitters and Trudeau potentially messing up.

Things are getting interesting in the English-speaking Commonwealth countries re: who might be head of government one year from now, let alone four years from now.

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.
