On July 4, Britons head to the polls to elect a new parliament. If the polls are correct, this election could bring an end to 14 consecutive years of Conservative Party rule. The Labour Party is expected to win big, and the Liberal Democrats and Green Party are expected to make electoral gains.

Jorn Fleck sits down Ed Owen—founder of the Power Test podcast and senior communications and strategy advisor to several members of the Labor Shadow Cabinet as well as former special advisor to the Home Secretary under the Blair government I & II—to preview the election and discuss implications for UK politics, policymaking and transatlantic cooperation.
