Familiar faces are lining up to replace Theresa May, but the job isn’t about to get any easier.

It’s 2016 all over again in British politics. The prospect of a humiliating defeat at the polls — this time the European elections — has forced Britain’s prime minister and Conservative Party leader to resign. Among the contenders to assume the throne are Boris Johnson, Andrea Leadsom and, quite possibly, Michael Gove. Déjà vu much?

How is it that the same politicians, having been defeated in a rather humiliating way only three years ago, are still plausible — and in Johnson’s case, considered the most likely — candidates for leading the country through one of its most challenging periods?

India’s prime minister has combined Donald Trump’s majoritarianism with Nicolás Maduro’s socialism to pave a new route to success.

It might be hard to believe, but archenemies Donald Trump and Nicolás Maduro seem to have merged into a single man — one far from the Americas. Meet Narendra Modi 2.0.

India’s prime minister on Thursday stormed back to power for another five years with an even larger mandate than his 2014 win that ended 30 years of fractured coalition governments. To supporters of Modi and his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the victory represents an acknowledgment of the success of massive social welfare programs launched by the government in recent years. To his critics, Modi has fashioned the win on the back of jingoistic nationalism and dog whistle politics targeting religious minorities, especially Muslims.

In reality, Modi has combined the majoritarian politics of other strongmen such as Trump and Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan with unprecedented welfare projects akin to Venezuela under Maduro and former President Hugo Chávez, laying out a new playbook for populists worldwide.
