EU: WHAT WILL CHANGE AFTER THE ELECTIONS ?

The sweeping gains made by the Extreme Right wing parties in the EU Elections will serve as a "Wake-up call" to the leaders of Political Parties which have suffered losses.  However, some electors have only registered a protest vote, while others clearly want to see changes to EU policies and Treaties. 

In France the National Front Party of Marine Le Pen won 24 seats, a gain of 21.  In the United Kingdom, Nigel Farage, the leader of UKIP, also won 24 seats with a gain of 11 on the 2009 election . 

There are 28 large and small countries, all prepared to protect their national interests.  This is normal but could this not also stifle change ?

The very first thing to be settled is the appointment of the new President of the EU Commission to replace Manual Barroso whose term of office expires this year.  Germany for example, will want a candidate who   accepts the current rules of managing the EURO, that the "Golden Rules" remain intact, that leaving the EURO is not an option for any country of the EUROZONE !  

Let us not forget, previously the post of President of the EU Commission was an appointment made by the Council of Ministers.  Now the Council of Ministers can only propose a candidate and it is the EU Parliament which votes, to adopt or not, the proposed nomination.
