To start off the year, our co-hosts Gabriel Hedengren (@ghedengren) and Javid Ibad (@javidibad) look at internal dynamics in parties and governments in the UK and France before recapping some key electoral moments in the last few months. Then, they look at the reactions EU leaders have had to the latest developments in Greenland. The hosts then take a step back and discuss their expectations and what they are looking out for in the year ahead.
