Current Affairs: The Electrifying World of Energy Politics
Somehow my feed thinks I should be interested in S&P Global's Dan Yergin and electricity issues.
With the election marathon of 2024 far from over, Europe’s Parliamentary election showdown continues the theme of extreme views on all sides putting on a show. Here’s a poetic reflection on what’s happening in Europe. Please support the lonely centrist through all of this
Europe votes, rightward drifts, divisions deep.
Conservatives on the rise, polls declare,
Super Poll’s truth laid bare.
From centre-right to far-right might,
Parties poised for a sweeping fight.
Liberals brace for a bitter blow,
Left clings to balance, wins are slow.
A conservative leader looms ahead,
Political rifts and strife widespread.
The rightward wave, a daunting spree,
Divided factions, no unity.
From Le Pen’s chant to Meloni’s reign,
Old alliances may feel the strain.
Yet the left’s stance, no panacea,
Struggles too with clear idea.
Extremes on both ends tear the seam,
A balanced path remains a dream.
As Trump’s policies cast a global hue,
Trade wars, tariffs—what’s next to brew?
EU’s stage, an exciting spree,
Foreign policy’s future—wait and see.
Power struggles, hard and fierce,
New head of the Commission appears.
Will unity or discord reign,
As Europe seeks to break the chain?
