This vote shouldn't be secret. The European MEPs are directly elected by the people of Europe, and the voters need transparency to hold their representatives accountable.
@paul1979uk2000Ай бұрын
It should all be transparent, but that isn't the fault of the EU but the fault of the members that want to maintain control over who becomes the leader of the EU. Honestly, I think it would be better to just open it all up and let the people vote for the EU Commission, for better or worse, at least it would be more credible in the people's eyes and it would be another nail in the coffin of the Eurosceptics that use that argument to oppose the EU project. Considering the rise of the far right, major reforms of the EU are needed to make it more accountable and democratic, because if the far right gains too much support, they could do some serious damage to the project, but if it's more accountable and the public have more of a say in what's going on, that will make it difficult for any that want to dismantle the project unless there's a lot of support from the people to do so, which is unlikely if they have a bigger voice and it's more likely that support for the project would grow. Either way, the EU countries need to get their act together and start listening to people's concerns and doing real changes that impact people's lives for the better, otherwise, the far right or worse will continue to rise, which could become dangerous if history is any indicator, basically, the rise of the far right isn't because of anything they are doing right, but it's because of so many things the mainstream parties are doing wrong in the public eyes and the far right are capitalising on that, not just in Europe but also in the US.

When she was the defence minister in germany the public prosecutor was looking to remove her political anonymity because she made questionable deals for 40 million euros to mend a army sailing ship. Merkel was under pressure so they did a bate and switch with the Manfred Weber candidate. They told the germans they could vote for him and the media didn't correct this lie. So Weber got a lot of german votes for the EPP. France had a similar problem with Christine Lagarde as finance minister. The French and Germans made a deal to get those woke ladies out of the firing line and gave them positions which made them untouchable for the national law. Von der Leyen became President of the Commission and Lagard was appointed to be the director of the European Central Bank.

A direct american style election isn't suitable for the EU because candidates from larger countries would have an edge, and since we all speak different languages the debates wouldn't be very appealing either. It would also produce a lot of polarisation. But the president of the EU commission is a job for whom you need to apply, you need a plan, the parliament gets to have its say etc... The process isn't perfect because there is no standard procedure like the Spitzenkandidatenprocess, and the anonimous voting should also be abolished, but compared to how other EU jobs are allocated the procedure isn't that bad. The EU really needs to evaluate how other jobs are allocated and how that can be more transparent for the EU-citizens.

Well, the third largest faction didn't exist during the election, so you could argue they lack the democratic legitimacy you seek to establish.

Eu is in an awkward situation. It is too decentralised to be a country but too centralised to be a union of countries. It can not stay in this form for too long without falling apart.

@karstenschuhmann8334 grear question, yes, it works for now, but over time, most countries will leave the eu if it doesn't adapt to modern geopolitics. Strong countries dominate weak ones, and no weak country is free from influence. The eu must either centralise or decentralise to keep up with the geopolitical standards. It can either imitate the nato structure or be like a big federation like the US, brazil, and Russia. We already see in the eu elections that these options are the most desired political changes by the eu population. The right wants decentralisation, and the left wants centralisation.

@@karstenschuhmann8334 Do they really? I can't exactly speak for every other nation, but Portugal is not really benefiting greatly from this membership. EU policies destroyed the only industry we had, and the money sent to us is mostly used in favor of the corrupt elite. Portugal has become an EU welfare-dependent country, and that dependency is reinforced by the EU. This is one of the biggest problems we face after 50 years of socialism. The only thing they have done is create welfare-dependent minorities and amass a behemoth-sized state, in contrast to our total population and economy, both of which have been declining. The worst part is that due to all this, we can't exactly leave the EU without practically annihilating ourselves. Even if we made a long-term plan, we would still have to kneel before Brussels most likely. A large part of the population has no hope for this country, young men and women would rather leave and find a better place than to have to carry, and by extension enable, politicians and people who couldn't care less about work since they can exploit those who actually do anything here. All this said, my little vent doesn't come close to the real complexity of the issues in Portugal and is just a tiny bit of context from a common citizen.

The real problem is, isn't if von der Leyen wins, but are there any credible alternatives to her? I can only think of one credible alternative in Mario Draghi from Italy, and all the huffing and puffing from the far right is meaningless unless they give a credible alternative that most of the EU members are happy with. But considering the EPP won the majority votes, you would think it was a given that they would choose who the next leader of the EU is.

@@XY-uc1tw False. Draghi is hated in Italy from the far left and the far right for being pro-austerity. On the opposite he's disliked in Germany, or other so called "frugal" countries, for being anti-austerity (and that's what you probably hinted about). Actually Draghi is only an experienced economist and he's the best we can have for all Europe because he simply has a true european mindset. He's not a nationalist like 99% of european politicians.
