2016 - a bad year for election nerds

[Famous Mortimer]

Add a very open and overcrowded presidential election (first round on 28 February; run-off on 13 March) in Benin - one of the African countries with the most interesting (but sadly underdocumented) political scene - and a possible referendum in Bolivia on the abolition of term limits for president (with recent polls predicting a defeat for the government on the question).

Jesus. Evo wrote the damn constitution. Why did he write in term limits?

Sad. I guess we have Scotland and Wales;

Wales is not that interesting to non-Brits. You would need a (miraculous) Plaid breakthrough for that. As it is it is on Slovakia level for me.

Slovakia is always legitimately exciting. Major parties fall out of parliament. New parties form. Coalitions with an ungodly number of parties are formed.  The Hungarian issue.

The Israeli Labor Party will have another leadership election, which I at least find exciting. Looking like Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai will run in addition to all the usual suspects.
