It’s been a busy few days in the world of economics and politics. The big developments include UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s damaging decision to skip a high-profile D-Day event, voters across Europe handing gains to right-wing parties and French President Emmanuel Macron’s surprise announcement of snap elections.

All of this was discussed at a live taping of Voternomics before an audience at Bloomberg’s London offices. Hosts Allegra Stratton, Adrian Wooldridge and Stephanie Flanders were joined by Editor in Chief John Micklethwait, Washington Bureau Chief Peggy Collins and Bloomberg Television anchor Francine Lacqua.
