After the vote for Brexit in the United Kingdom referendum in 2016 and the victory of Donald Trump in the United States, the European Union (EU) faced a make-it-or-break-it moment as it embarked on a year of national elections in key member states: the electorate in the Netherlands voted in March 2017; France went to the ballot box for the presidential and legislative elections in April/May and June; the British also cast their vote in June; Germany held elections in September and the Czech Republic their legislative election in October (Figure 10.1). In each of these elections, the EU was a crucial issue for the candidates and parties. Indeed, in today’s Europe, governments and opposition parties are—at least partly—judged by their electorates based on their stance on EU membership and policies. There is some variation in how this is played out across countries (Hobolt, 2016), but after this year’s round of elections there is no doubt that national governments’ attitudes towards the European Union play an important role at election time. The EU will not only survive the 2017 round of elections but is now set on a course of further integration between its member states. Such steps will not come without its challenges, as stark divisions between the governments lurk beneath the surface. Nevertheless, in the aftermath of the UK’s 2017 general election, the governments of the EU27 (as the remaining member states are popularly referred to) appeared more aligned than for years. Hence, it is within this context, and contrary to Mrs May’s plan, that the UK election outcome has left the government between a rock and a hard place: managing difficult domestic challenges—including a hung parliament—while negotiating an all-defining deal with a united and strong European Union.
