There is not one citizen nor one MEP in the European Union, who is totally and 100% satisfied with the way politicians are conducting the Affairs of State which concern us all !
There are 28 countries, 751 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), and more than 500 million electors. No one is convinced that the main problems in their country are adquately covered and dealt with at the EU level !
Examples of "high level" EU preoccupations are the "current" Greek + EURO crisis and the "never ending" Immigration and Migration problems !
Is it not time that Jean-Claude Juncker, who is the President of the European Commission, should prove that transparent Democracy does exist or is possible in the EU Parliament ?
Could he not organise a presentation/debate in which one MEP from each country is given 5 or 10 minutes maximum to explain which three problems are the most important for his country ? If such a debate is transmitted live to at least all the 28 EU member countries, would this not create an enormous amount of interest and goodwill ?
A summary of the problems notified by the countries should then be prepared and published. It could become the subject of a special debate in the EU parliament at a later date. This debate also should be transmitted by live television broadcasts.
If Mr Juncker would undertake something like this (and why not each year ?), it would certainly restore the confidence of electors in the EU Parliament !
