 Hello, the time is 6.06. This is Weekend on the BBC World Service. I'm Paul Henley and my guests on this edition of the programme are Leslie Vinger-Moury, who is Director of the US and America's programme at Chatham House and Professor of International Relations at SOAS, University of London, and Eric Albert, who is European Economic Correspondent for the French daily Le Monde. And you've been writing your sort of farewell piece to the UK just before the elections happened.
