2024 is set to be the biggest election year ever, with nearly half the world’s population heading to the polls! While democracy is generally a good thing, elections can create turmoil in economies, adding uncertainty to everything from trade to taxes. In this video, we dive into how elections can disrupt national economies, the real costs of political uncertainty, and whether we can minimize these economic disturbances for smoother transitions of power.

  1. The UK and Japan had or has a general election in 2024, your map at the start isn't accurate (maybe you missed more or included incorrect ones I have no idea but I know those two are missed).

  2. Enlightened despotism is the final solution, to coin a phrase. Democracy becomes tryanny. The Greeks knew this but nobody reads Aristotle or Polybius these days. The marching morons of MAGA might be the future. Giving everyone the vote was stupid. My theory is that the ruling class gave everyone the vote when they realized they could not be overthrown. Freedom of speech and voting exist when they cannot harm the ruling class. It's obvious when you think about it.

  3. American elections are too long, too expensive and they have too many of them, with so many positions being electable, when other countries would just go through an HR process.

  4. My opinion is that basically majority of people are idiots and would vote for the first clown promising then free money, regardless if it’s sustainable or not. On top of that, generally the population does not ever take any consistent decision (for example about energy strategy). Italy is a good example of all this (I’m Italian).

    Overall, It’s a terrible way of governing a country and an economy but it’s the only one that minimises probability of degeneration in dictatorship.

  5. is there a country that has set regulations for banks or other huge economic implications so that a financial crisis doesnt occur.. i have never heard of australia having the issues like america.. id like to see a video of it if there was one and why and what may have caused it etc., or maybe about how america feeds itself lies to better the economy like with the big push for ethanol and corn farmers which i feel is sort of happenning with this whole ev better for the envioronment crap.i freeking hate politics.. nothing but gray areas that hide the truth

  6. In the UK, Labour's landslide win in July spurred some analysts to say that the UK would suddenly enjoy a rush of investment, since there was more political certainty ahead after years of instability (Brexit, Covid, inflation spike since 2022). Perhaps that was good for the economy, but might have been dampened by the upcoming 30 October budget (predicted tax rises driving investors away and lowering business confidence).

  7. What would happen if voting via mobile phones were safe and secure (by biometrics … Face recogniztion, fingerprint, SSN) how would this affect the dynamics of democracy?

  8. Sorry bro but 18 seconds-in and your saying the world is moving toward being more democratic?
    I don't think I have ever given this channel a thumbs down, but today is the day.
    Sounds like misinformation from the Left.
