About Ian Bremmer's poll prediction for the BJP
Commenting on the possible poll results, Bremmer mentioned, "Predi🌜ction for elections for Eurasia group is 305±10 seats,"
"Really not much of a change f🗹rom what we saw 5 years ago", he furtheꦑr added.
According to Bremmer, the Indian general election, from a global political perspective, is "the only thing that looks stable and consistent...everything else (including the United States elecᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚtion due in November) is problematic".
"This is also a country that was very 𒀰inward-focused ꦜfor a long time, but this region is now becoming much more of a global leader", Bremmer continued.
"... We have an enormous amount of macro-level geopolitical uncertainty and the future of globalisation is not going the way companies want it ꦫto. Politics is inserting itself into the global marketplace... wars, US-China relations, and the US election are all a big part of that," he said.
"All of these not be♐ing managed well and these pressures are more negative. In fact, the only thing that looks stable and consistent, 🎃politically, is the India election. Everything else looks problematic."
