Episode notes

There's been peace since the belfast agreement. Is it now not truly inconceivable to re institute a hard border between the two irelands? And what will be done because of this fact? Will we not end up with the border being between belfast and heath throw airport, rather than along donegal county between the two islands? I think there is quite a realistic chance that northern islands will vote to join the republic under some kind of condaminem codeminium scheme.

The UK is holding a big election on June 8, so today we’re bringing you some bonus audio on that topic featuring Tyler and Steve Davies of the London-based Institute of Economic Affairs.

They talk about how the general election could shape the terms of Brexit, how much further the EU and even the UK will splinter, the prospects for the European left-wing, and the populism underneath it all.

Note: this was recorded at event in late April shortly after May called for the snap election in June. Got it?
