The European Parliament. CC.
Introduction
We consider the model of national parties which form flimsy alliances at the level of the European Parliament to be obsolete. While the fight for democracy-from below (at the local, regional or national levels) is necessary, it is nevertheless insufficient if it is conducted without an internationalist strategy toward a pan-European coalition for democratising Europe.
European democrats must come together first, forge a common agenda, and then find ways of connecting it with local communities and at the regional and national level.
