  • Doesn’t look like more direct.

    EP parties usually have a candidate for the Commission that they show during election, so voters know who they will support. On the other hand, the European Council members are usually chosen from internal politics and issues, and at different times.

    Last time a union had president, it was quickly dissolved before first term ended.

    That’s just a name though. The election would stay the same, even if it were called «First Janitor».

    I don’t think having one person on position like this is good for union.

    The position is the same.



  • Honestly, no idea. The only solution I can see are NGOs. Specially at EU levels, you need to show that your opinion has support, and that you aren’t just pushing your fringe idea. And on that front I believe the EU hasn’t been lacking.

    I think the EP would be a lot more accountable if it was elected on single member constituencies. This also has its own issues (main one being no minority representation), but it would allow a more direct connection with their electorate and people would know who to talk to when they want to push for something.


  • The only big change I can see will be Parliament proposing the Commission President, instead of the European Council. Apart from that, experience shows that motions of no confidence are rare, so I don’t think this will make the Commission less independent.

    would perhaps not have been feasible to realize like they have been, if the European Commission couldn’t have the best commissioners for the jobs.

    Those acts are approved by Parliament, which is where the Commission will be responsible to.








  • I believe OP has made some mistakes when pasting the text
