Right now, we're witnessing some of the most dramatic leadership transitions in decades. From the UK's political upheaval with calls for Starmer to quit, to West Bengal's shocking end of fifteen years of Trinamool Congress rule, to Tamil Nadu's systematic leadership protocols — these aren't just political stories.
