What will be the major political happenings and developments over the next twelve months? Post your hostages to fortune here.
Even provided that his party will be disciplined, that may not last more than two years, though.
That's true. And as Dems go he has a particularly strong history of bipartisanship in any case. But at least to begin with he's going to be less constrained by the need for it than I'm sure most of us had expected.
On the other hand, if the Republicans who've finally started to stand up for the rule of law - Mitt Romney and so on - keep doing so, I imagine we'll see a swing back their way next time there's a chance for people to vote. There, that's my political prediction for 2021 ...
I predict that the local authorities and devolved governments’ elections due in May will be postponed again.
Cthulhu to come back disguised as a politician.
Anti-trans activists to urge all feminists to ban abortion so that men can't perform abortions on themselves while disguised as women.
Donald Trump to escape to Britain and become leader of the Tory Party under the assumed name "Ronald Pump".
Tories to abandon inoculation plans and make infection with COVID-19 compulsory.

You mean the assumed name Tronald Dump.
Cthulhu to come back disguised as a politician.
I for one welcome our new tentacular overlords and look forward to seeing a shoggoth on every street corner.
Vote Cthulu - No lives matter.
Given this thread failed so spectacularly about the storming of the US Capitol, shouldn't it be shut down in shame!
The last line of #75 was pretty close. And may yet prove true.
I predict the planet will continue to warm.
That the rich will get richer.
And the poor, poorer.
And that the gap between rich and poor will widen.
But we'll be like India, full of entrepreneurs an call centres!
'Savings lives' as in all news outlets will lead to a massive explosive overpopulation; save lives yes now feed them too. Boom! or rather - FLOp!
The sun will rise in the morning and set in the evening. Winters will be colder than summers. Jacob will get more insufferably sanctimonious.
