If only the ideal of Europe remains for the greatest part of the people, its governance is perceived as decision-making centred (Germany and the rest), distant from citizen’s aspirations (both for the German constituency and for the rest), distant from citizen’s experiences (technocratic rule by unelected bureaucrats), impose by...

“Most voters seem to take the opportunity to give the incumbent national government a ‘good kicking’ during European elections, as seen in the UK, Spain and France, rather than vote on a broad manifesto of ideas. This is fuelled further by MEPs campaigning on local issues rather than European ones.” This is an example of part of the democratic deficit in the European Parliament. To further show how there is a democratic deficit in the European Parliament I will explain how it is largely...

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the European Union? What are the implications of the European Union on military and economic affairs? The European Union is a system that was created to help form a unity, and strengthen European states.

Will the United Kingdom Join the Euro Club? When the euro was introduced in January 1999, the United Kingdom was conspicuously absent from the list of European countries adopting the common currency.
