Tombé pour la France, Politik Pop, Crisis! Crisis!

The Parti of European Socialists (PES) launched the campaign for the european parliamentary elections last week. It's quite nice to see all these politicians from different countries united, and stuff. Ah, if only citizens were more interested in these elections... Anyway, the campaign also started on the web:

The credits of that video must be on the website hosting it.

And this is what I have to say: I love the socialist guy's shirt. Shame it is that... "baggy".

The reason why apathy reigns regarding these elections is that the EU parliament is viewed as being no more than a fig leaf for democracy in an organization that is so contrived as to increase the power of national governments' executives at the expense of their parliaments. The unelected Commissioners in cahoots with their sponsors in the executive arms of national governments make directives, which are approved by the Council of Ministers (members of the executive arms of national governments) and presented to the various national parliaments as fait accompli, which the parliaments are obliged to render into law.
It is seen as being a gravy train for an incestuous elite of politicians. People do not want to sully themselves by having anything to do with it.
That is why it needs reform.
Many parties want to reform the relationship with the EU, most of them by walking away from the organization. The only party that is both Euro-sceptic and pro-EU is Libertas, who wish to reform the EU to make it democratic and accountable to the electorate.
