Sucker for #europeanparties, #eudemocracy and #eureform.
PS: managing to write an entire article about the future of European politics without once mentioned existing #europeanparties is not a great sign for the health of our current representative democracy.

"If you can't beat them.. don't even try" seems to be the @eppgroup.bsky.social policy, I guess.

@pbs.org's work on US history, including this 2025 documentary by legend Ken Burns, should be mandatory viewing not only for EU staffers, but for all national government officials working on EU/foreign/constitutional affairs.

This should really be more controversial. An upper house voting unanimously 90% of the time shows a major problem with democratic representation.

This is the single best measure to truly give European citizens a say in European democracy, to strengthen our institutions, and to live up to our values. A political union, starting with strong and democratic #europeanparties, is what we are missing, decades after an economic union.

"Monnet’s superpower, per his grandson, was that he could identify practical, achievable aims that wouldn’t alienate politicians"
👉 Streamline (not "unify by force") political parties across Europe, give real powers and clout to #europeanparties, and allow citizens to support them. It's that simple.
