Summary

Chris, Tanja, and Axel Antoni offer a first take on last week's European election and its aftermath before examining in a bit more detail what led to the disenfranchisement of many EU citizens who were denied their vote, and what can be done about it.

Now updated with new and improved sound thanks to post-production by heroic listener Charlie Elwess!
