Elections coming up

[Tender Branson]

So, the next important election is Russia President (well, not really - because we know who wins).

At least we have the US primaries in between, because otherwise I would probably die because of boredom.

OK, Taiwan and Greece are in between - so this makes it a little less boring ...

Should start one for the Dutch general election.  Haven't followed the issues closely there, but I know there will be one on September 12th.  I do know they could have their credit rating downgraded so I may become more newsworthy never mind it seems no party ever gets above 30% meaning there are multiple parties who could win and multiple possible coalitions.

They have already passed an austerity plan so there will be no downgrade for my northern neighbors.

Next New Zealand general election (House of Representatives) scheduled for no later than 24 January 2015, but will most likely be held in November 2014.

Polls currently show National still hovering around 48-49%, despite some unpopular policies. Support for Labour has gone up to just over 36% (they received only 27.5% in 2011), but this has been at the expense of their possible coalition partners, the Greens and NZ First.

Thanks to the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act (2011), the next United Kingdom general election is set for May 7, 2015.  

Also, the next Canadian general election is currently (and tentatively) scheduled for October 19, 2015.
