More people than ever are going to the polls this year. And the EU Elections, coming up on June 6th, are a pivotal moment for Europe. In just over 6 weeks' time, 400 million voters will decide the make-up of the European Parliament for the next 5 years.
Whilst the UK is of course not taking part in these elections, it is essential that we have an understanding of the likely outcomes and potential impacts of this election, that of our closest neighbour and biggest trading partner, and grapple with what these mean for the next stage of the UK-EU relationship.
There is a lot at stake but with this webinar we will explore and distil the key things to know about this election.
