After the 2024 EP elections, the complexity and arrhythmias of EU parliamentary democracy have become even more evident

1. The democratic legitimacy of the new European Parliament (EP): the (slight) increase in the electoral turnout. – 2. Winners and losers in the (Euro-national) parliamentary system. – 3. The dissolution of the French Parliament: clearly no longer “second order elections”. – 4. The confirmation and re-interpretation of the Spitzkenkandidaten constitutional convention. – 5. The drawing of the new cordon sanitaire, at the light of the re-articulation of the right-wing political groups. – 6. A more politicized EU form of government, according to consensual dynamics, to be better synchronized with national political-electoral cycles.
