Whilst office workers spill onto the streets for Christmas lunches and last minute shopping, folks in some parts of the world are engaging with democracy to vote on critical issues. Like, the House and Senate in the US, who will vote on the tax bill later in the week and, hopefully, approve a temporary spending bill so government workers get paid over the Christmas break. At the ANC party conference in South Africa delegates voted a new leader, to replace Jacob Zuma. Whilst the people of Catalonia vote for a new government on Thursday, with the question of independence firmly on the agenda. Phil Dobbie talks through it all with NAB’s Rodrigo Catril.
