LAST YEAR WAS a long, action-packed year. We had a referendum, local elections, European elections, and a general election. We had the Olympics and won the Six Nations. There was a US presidential election and a UK general election that saw opposition parties take power.

The diary for this year looks significantly quieter, with many of the elections out of the way – but there are a few things up and coming.
