Brexit - Too Hot to Handle in the General Election?

John Stevens and Brendan Donnelly discuss the implications of the General Election’s results for relations between the UK and the EU. They warn that the Labour Party will not gain much purchase in Brussels by the simple fact of not being the Conservative Party. They conclude that British politics are in flux and that changing political attitudes towards the European Union are at the heart of this volatility.
