On this weeks’ Brexit The Final Countdown podcast, presenter Rebecca Hutson was joined by Express.co.uk Head of News Paul Baldwin and Video News Editor Thomas Hunt. Mr Hunt insisted that the EU elections could greatly influence the UK’s future negotiations with the European Union on Brexit. The growth of populism in countries is reportedly growing alongside anger towards the EU meaning the elections could become more eurosceptic.
Mr Baldwin added that this would be in Britains favour as the EU would then be willing to renegotiate to make the Brexit process smoother so other nations could follow suit.
Mr Hunt began by saying: “I don’t know what the figure is for normal EU election turn out but I’m guessing it is not more than 50 percent.
“I think you could actually see a lot of angry people going and voting.
“The way they were looking at the whole of the EU, the populist eurosceptic groups, they are very fearful they will be the second largest bloc in the EU.
