Every year, the Economist does is "predictive" cover for the year. There is often an analysis, but this year this is not, so far that I have seen. Any takers?

I think the third line from the bottom means that raftloads of refugees stuff the ballot boxes in Greece and France, while Putin builds bridges using bots, then kills a clown and shoots his body into space.
