After the elections of MEPs throughout the EU in May 2014 (22/25), little will change in the EU Parliamentary Assembly during the next five years.
However, during those coming five years (2014/2019), there will be at least one General Parliamentary Election to elect National Members of Parliament (MPs) in all the EU member countries. Even if a new swing is recorded in National elections this will have no effect on the sitting MEPs of that Nation before 2019 !
This exemplifies how the "Wind of Change" in National Elections has no immediate effect in the EU Parliament !
But, if a new Prime Minister is elected, then the new Prime Minister will represent his Country in the European Council ! Is all this normal and logical and Democratic ?
Simply said another way, MEPs at present are quite happy to be protected from the "Wind of Change" !
