What Europe's political gambles signal for the region and world

The Sunday Magazine

A new political era is underway in Europe in the face of two snap elections. People in France are casting ballots in a second round of voting that could chart a new course for the country’s future, while across the channel, a landslide victory for the United Kingdom's Labour Party ended 14 years of Conservative rule. While the places, players and people are different... voters in the U.K. and France seem to have one unifying message: change. The Globe and Mail's Europe correspondent Paul Waldie, The Economist's Paris bureau chief Sophie Pedder and University of Surrey politics professor Amelia Hadfield join Piya Chattopadhyay to break down the issues and broader global implications.
