About Ian Bremmer's poll prediction for the BJP
Commenting on the possible poll results, Bremmer mentioned, "Prediction for elections for Eurasia group is 305±10 seats,"
"Really not much of a change from what we saw 5 years ago", he further 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 election due in November) is problematic".
"This is also a country that was very inward-focused for 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 to. 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 being 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."
