Nobody likes an incumbent government in 2024 - even those who vote for them!

2024 has seen many elections, and just as many incumbent parties massively weakened. As we check out newly elected governments, we note that people don't like the new guys any better than the old.

Throughout the year we have been running pieces on 2024's year of elections. A common theme across them all has been a popular rejection of incumbency. Running as the opposition has been a charmed experience. Everybody wants the opposition party in power but once it gets there nobody has any expectations it'll be any better.
