Stanley Pignal: None of the EU's top 10 biggest countries (nor the EU itself) are due to hold their main elections in 2026. Given elections every 4-5 years the odds of that happening are around 5% - once every two decades or so. An absence of electoral pressure should offer a major window for reform in the EU.
