In Iceland, incumbent coalition partners see historic poor performances, whilst the Social Democrat Alliance reap the rewards. Why did the incumbent parties perform so badly? And what will the next Government look like? In Ireland, as a Fine Gael-Fianna Fáil coalition looks set to be revived, Sam and Chern discuss why they were able to seemingly withstand the global anti-incumbency revolt?

And what are the takeaways from these four Autumn elections for the federal parties with an election around the corner?
