The month of September saw multiple elections taking place across Europe, with two especially high-profile contests in the United Kingdom and in Italy. In this episode, POLITICO Europe's Suzanne Lynch joined us to break down the results of each contest, what they mean for the domestic politics of each country, and how these results may impact these countries' relationships with the European Union.

The Europe Desk is a podcast from the BMW Center for German and European Studies at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. It brings together leading experts working on the most pertinent issues facing Europe and transatlantic relations today.
