The EU and its friends will continue to moonwalk into dislocation, unless they rethink their interaction process with national politics.
The good news is that this can be done at relatively minimal cost: not need for treaty changes, conventional gatherings and last chance summits.
Instead, have the European Commission and the other institutions send tactical teams of EU-savvy ambassadors in prime time shows.
Europe cannot only be built only from the European quarter in Brussels.
Its fighters must now accept to descend in the arena of national politics.
The self-imposed rule of comity that insulates national polities from EU interference is written nowhere, and it has now come to threaten the most precious thing we ever built: peace.
The discussion is quite difficult. The situation quite complex. I'd like to discuss. why don't we create a discussion group? [email protected]

8 年Easier to say than to do. . . The Council being the dominant EU institution, It would not allow such a proactive approach. EU = Member States. No federalism. It is as simple as that. (Speaking in my personal capacity, the usuel disclaimer applying)
