EU PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS WILL LEAD TO CHANGES IN THE EU !

Many Politicians in Europe are worried by the effect the election of MEPs this week will have on the EU Parliament !

For the first time, EU national electors appear to      understand that their local national MPs are limited by the overriding powers of "Brussels".  Without knowing how this can be done, they want changes : they want some of these powers  to be returned to national Parliaments.  Is this not normal ?

From a total EU standpoint, this frustration is even more complex because the same changes are not sought by each or all the 28 member countries of the EU.  

The only way forward, in order to respect the wishes of electors, is to make changes to certain rules embedded in the treaties which form the Constitution of the EU.  This is very difficult and, alas, is exactly what some older seasoned EU politicians want to avoid at all costs !

Sometimes the same changes are sought by several countries.  An example is the Schengen Treaty and its principles of free movement of goods and people.  Some countries want  EU immigration controls and a right to fix national quotas to limit the number of immigrants.  This Treaty really needs to be reviewed and modified.

The EUROZONE of 18 countries will also have a battle over the 3% golden rule.  This again is an example of how the sacred rules of the EU risk changing particularly now when the EURO seems to be weakening.

There will be changes after the elections this week;  these changes must keep the EU competitive with other major trading blocks in the world.  

Electors must therefore vote for the candidate they think is best !  If you do not vote it means you are giving others a better chance to get what THEY want !
