Theresa May Rolls the Electoral Dice

The snap general election just called by British Prime Minister Theresa May will have far-reaching implications not only for the UK's upcoming Brexit negotiations, but also for the survival of the UK itself. Indeed, while polls suggest that her decision could pay off, her strategy is hardly risk-free.

LONDON – A big election year for Europe just got bigger. With France’s upcoming presidential election becoming a nail-biter, and Germans preparing to vote in September, British Prime Minister Theresa May has now called a snap election for June 8. The outcome will have far-reaching implications not only for the United Kingdom’s impending negotiations on withdrawal from the European Union, but also for the survival of the UK itself.
