πŸ”₯Today, @Europarl_EN's Committee on Constitutional Affairs (#AFCO) will discuss #transnationallists. Here is why they may not be the good idea we think they are. A thread πŸ‘‡ 1/25
@EPInstitutional @Antonio_Tajani @guyverhofstadt @sandrogozi @d_boeselager @daniel_freund @inside_ep
Many have endorsed TNLs as the way to make our elections more #European, from pro-#EU groups (@federalists, @EMInternational), to politicians (@EmmanuelMacron, @vonderleyen) & advocates (@jonworth, @alemannoEU, @AndrewDuffEU). They argue TNLs will bring a European dimension. 2/25
To be clear, the point of this thread is *not* to argue that TNLs will make our common election less European, simply that they will not remedy the election's core deficiency (that national parties are in control) and that, therefore, they are not the right way forward. 3/25

Welcome push by MEP @DomenecD on the reform of #EuropeanParties during #AFCO discussion with Commissioner @VeraJourova.
A true #EuropeanDemocracy needs true pan-European parties offering a consistent political offer to citizens across the EU. πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί Image
Welcome push by @PDurandOfficiel on EU #ElectoralLaw reform during #AFCO discussion with Commissioner @VeraJourova.
The equality of EU citizens implies equality before the vote, and our electoral system must engage citizens and make our elections more European. πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί #IamEuropean Image
.@VeraJourova's careful words on #EU #ElectoralLaw reform are welcome. Transnational lists are not the only (nor the best) way for a truly #European election. Better results can be achieved w/ #bestpractices in federal systems, #Bundestag first of all. #IamEuropean πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί @VoltEuropa Image
