The Brexit vote in particular and Euroscepticism in general is in a large part the result of the European Union's democratic deficit. Let's fix it !

The European Parliament is the body with the most democratic legitimacy but the initiative of laws rests entirely within the executive, which represents European states but not the European people. Empower the European parliament with legislative initiative and see the people embrace European political life !

European citizens cast their vote for national parties who emphasize national reasons and national political circumstances - this must stop: Pan-European issues require pan-European responses. So, the European Parliament must directly represent the European citizens, collectively, in a way that emphasizes common interests over national interests. Such popular legitimacy requires a pan-European electorate with pan-European lists - then European democratic life will be really about us, together.

Let's rise to the occasion and let the power of the European people strengthen their common destiny !
