Join us for a round-table event exploring populism and changes in public opinion
On 6-9 June 2024, an estimated 400 million EU citizens were eligible to vote in the European elections. One month later, 47 million British adults could vote in the UK’s general election. While these elections will have changed much about how Britain and the EU are governed, they also have something to say about populism and the changes in public opinion right across Britain and the rest of Europe, and above all for young people.
Join us on Tuesday, 15 October, 5.15-6.45pm at Royal Holloway’s Egham campus (Founders Lecture Theatre) for a round-table event for all our students and staff.

Specialists from Royal Holloway and elsewhere who research the politics of elections will talk about their findings from these latest elections and take questions. Presenters include Professor Sara Hobolt (London School of Economics), Dr Miriam Sorace (University of Reading), Dr Chris Prosser (Royal Holloway, University of London), and the event is chaired by Dr Giacomo Benedetto (Royal Holloway, University of London).
This event is organised by the Jean Monnet Chair of European Politics at Royal Holloway, University of London, and it is co-funded by the European Union.
