The first task of the newly elected MEPs of the EU Parliament will be to appoint the President of the Commission to replace Manual Barroso whose second and last term ends in November 2014.
This could become the start of a new era in the History of the EU.
After 60 years, with ever increasing fervour and speed, spent defining the laws of the EU and increasing the number of member countries, the time has come to stand back and agree adjustments, to arrive at the final "finished article" !
National electors are dissatisfied with their local national MPs who have lost many decision making powers to Brussels. Now Electors must choose their EU MEPs but they wonder whether any one of them can act to galvanise the stagnant EU !
In the EU everyone seems to want different things. There are Socialists, Conservatives, Liberals, Nationalists, Greens and Ideologists ... It will need a new, real Leader with the backing of a strong voting majority in the EU Assembly, to override the usual opposition of small ad hoc Coalitions to introduce badly needed changes in EU Treaties !
