Great summary, Arthur. Two additional points:

- Indonesia is also the worlds largest Muslim country, and the second-biggest coal exporter.

- Modi made every effort to nobble his political rivals ahead of the election, and STILL didn’t manage to win a majority.

Thanks Arthur. A great article as always. Let’s hope trump loses to continue a better than expected year of election results.

You must have been very happy with the Lib Dems showing in the UK!

If Trump does win, how robust are other institutions that make the constitution work: judiciary, state governments, military. Will they object to crazy executive orders? The Supreme Court clearly now acts politically

I think this is the big as yet unanswered question. The whole purpose of Project 2025 is to circumvent what happened in 2020, when the institutions stood up against an attempted coup. So it's very unclear where things would end up under a second Trump presidency.
