Mark my words: the second Trump aberration will be just as bad for America as the first.

After three senators have dumped their parties to go independent, we now have five independents, which is a lot of power. But Malcolm Mackerras thinks it’s unlikely these political players will stand the test of time.

When I say that these election results gave good news, I should declare the parties of which I am a ‘putative’ member.

Having already made a few predictions last year about the British general election, now we have a date for it, I’d like to make some supplementary predictions. And there’s another aspect of this election that interests me: the size of the House of Commons, given the size of the country.

The point of my article today is to discuss the office of Governor-General, not the merits of the people who have held it and to ask the question Is the Governor-General the Australian head of state?

I promised I’d make my predictions for Australia before this year closes. So, here goes, beginning with federal elections.

Now is a good time for me to analyse the NZ election.
