What 2015 Election are you most looking forward to?

[Thomas D]

I vote Canada. I want to see a Harper concession speech so badly. 

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

*United Kingdom election, unless all the recent constitutional wrangling takes a bizzaro turn.

And Canada, because (a) Harper is worse than Cameron, (b) I don't live there, so I don't have to actually worry about how the result affects me.

Both should be pretty interesting though.

[politicus]

There will be several good ones ("close" to home Poland and two Nordic: Faroes and Finland).
Spain has an interesting political development, especially on the left wing, but also the internal dynamic in PP, and is my no. 1 in Europe. While they are no fun to live in countries in crisis generally provide for interesting elections.

Tanzania - one of the most diverse and fascinating  countries in Africa - has a double whammy - electing President and Parliament. As a curiosity women in Saudi-Arabia will for the first time ever be allowed to vote and stand as candidates in their  municipal election! (men have since 2005). It will be highly interesting how they go about it.

If pressed to chose only one: Spain.

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Oh yes, and Greece may have a snap election in 2015, which should be interesting.

The election I'm most looking forward to is the 2016 Irish ones.

[Vega]

The United Kingdom, it ought to be fairly close, and the possibility of another hung Parliament is intriguing.

[ObserverIE]

Late 2015 may be more likely than 2016 for the one in the Republic.

[Lumine]

The UK. I wasn't following British politics in 2010, so this is the first general election I have actually followed closely and I'm truly intrigued to see what will happen. The polls say Milliband will win a decent majority, but a hung parliament would be interesting to see (and as Harold Wilson and Ted Heath proved, unexpected swings can come out of nowhere).

[DC Al Fine]

The UK since they're far more likely than Canada to have a realignment next year.

[RogueBeaver]

My own country, but Spain for foreign elections.

[Hatman 🍁]

I'll be watching both, but Canada obviously.

[Zanas]

This poll clearly has an anglophone touch to it...

Actually, Spain, Portugal and potential Greece all come ahead for me. Then UK, because it's still very undecided and could end up interesting. Canada would only make the short-list if Trudeau starts sucking balls like he should. For now, I have Finland or even Argentina a bit ahead.

There will also be Turkey.

[cp]

Gah! Don't make me choose between my home country and my country of residence!

By the slimmest of margins (think 'Non' in Quebec, '95) I'll go with Canada.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

There is no English parliament.

[swl]

Voted other, for Spain as well. I have a lot of hopes for this election, hopefully will join the resistance against the German right after it. It may be a game changer. Obviously I will be extremely disappointed if the PP wins again.

Then comes the UK, I will be happy to see Cameron finally leaving, but there is nothing exciting about Ed Miliband. UKIP may bring a bit of interest to this election for the political nerds we all are.

I will also follow Portugal (same reason than Spain) Finland and Denmark.

It will be interesting to see how the opposition fares in Russia and Turkey.

I don't really care about Canada.

And Switzerland should have a referendum about an unconditional basic income, I am looking forwards to that, even if I don't expect it to be accepted.

[ZuWo]

Switzerland!
I strongly believe that the outcome of the 2015 election is going to shape and define the future of the country more than any other federal election in the last decades. The dominating campaign issue will be the future relationship between Switzerland and the European Union, which puts the Swiss People's Party (SVP) in an excellent position.

And Switzerland should have a referendum about an unconditional basic income, I am looking forwards to that, even if I don't expect it to be accepted.

I predict a "yes"-share of about 20%.

[Paleobrazilian]

Argentina will be cool.

[Zinneke]

Argentina and Spain. Big changes expected in the overall political scene.

It's actually hard to describe how much of a landmark the European elections were for Spain. Before that the bipartismo system was pretty much unchallenged and you always expected both PP and PSOE to make up more than 70-80 per cent of hte vote. If there is a big turnout things could get very interesting with a PP coiming in first place but 3 left-wing parties being able to form a majority. I expect to be at least 2 kingmakers after the elections.

I don't know much about Argentine politics, I just know that they are in the sh**tter.

[BaconBacon96]

The UK election will be fascinating to watch. I'm greatly looking forward to the outcome. Also, the election in my home state of Queensland obviously.

[Middle-aged Europe]

UK, of course.

Followed by Spain, Poland and Canada, I guess.

Overall, 2015 sucks election-wise though.

[politicus]

UK, of course.

Followed by Spain, Poland and Canada, I guess.

Overall, 2015 sucks election-wise though.

You got 3 of the 6 biggest countries in EU: UK, Spain, Poland + crisis ridden Portugal and Greece.

Mexico and Argentina in Latin America. Canada in North America.

Nigeria, Ethiopia and Tanzania in Africa.

In Asia you got Burma as a very exciting one + Turkey. Probably also Thailand.

[Clarko95 📚💰📈]

UK, definitely.

[Tender Branson]

Other: The Styria and Vienna state elections.

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Oh, I forgot about Burma! That will probably be a particularly transformative one.

Turkey should be pretty dull, to be honest. Erdogan is safe as houses.

In Australia, Queensland might have an interesting election, with Newman possibly (probably?) losing his seat and PUP a wild card.

[Cranberry]

Other: The Styria and Vienna state elections.

Haha Tender

I guess UK, Spain or Switzerland, but just because it's basically just round the corner

[Filuwaúrdjan]

British General Elections and Canadian Federal Elections are both great carnivalesque fun even when the wrong people win them. Don't be put off by the hum-drummery of most other elections in both countries.
