The message of voters to their MEPs is loud and clear. They want the EU to change the way it functions and to change some of the principles enshrined in Treaties.
Some long serving MEPs have been staggered by this message and want to avoid changing treaties which it has taken years to get adopted. Everyone can remember the farce surrounding the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty in 2009.
At present politicians are preoccupied with the nomination of a candidate to become the next President of the EU Commission. This time it is the MEPs of the EU Parliament who will vote, to accept or not, the candidate proposed by the Council of the EU. It could take months to find a candidate who is acceptable to both the Council and the Parliament.
This does not mean that MEPs cannot already start work on preparing legislative changes to Treaties.
What was the leading message from electors ? Did they not want more control of "IMMIGRATION, MIGRATION and TEMPORARY VISITORS" in the EU ? This is a vast task but it must be completed during this five year EU legislature.
MEPs should start work now rather than later !
