\u00ab Should we give up once and for all considering continent-wide democracy ? Would federative models (American, Russian, etc.) be misleading ? \u00bb<\/p>C\u00c9LINE SPECTOR<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The EU is often accused of having a democratic deficit – the \u201cunelected elites\u201d in Brussels dictate policy that affects 27 (28 until December 2020) countries, with few of them being directly elected. Ursula Von Der Leyen and Charles Michel we\u2019re selected by heads of government, and yet they hold two of the most powerful posts in EU politics. Against this view are those who argue that the EU has no democratic deficit – the 2019 Parliamentary elections boasted the highest turnout ever at over 50 %, representing hundreds of millions of Europeans who picked MEPs. The parliament votes on any decision, and also approved Von Der Leyen and Michel. Isn\u2019t that democratic ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whichever side you\u2019re on, come discuss with us this Wednesday at 8 pm in Hamilton 607 !<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some good reads to prepare for the discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
