This famously is the year of elections. So the Stephanomics feed has been taken over by our bonus series, Voternomics. It’s a weekly look at the way geopolitics - and elections - are upending the longstanding assumptions of policymakers and business people around the world. Hosted by Stephanie Flanders, head of Bloomberg Economics and former  BBC economics editor, former government advisor Allegra Stratton and Opinion columnist and author Adrian Wooldridge.
