  • Understanding the Spitzenkandidaten Process
    BRIEFING Election of the President of the European Commission Understanding the Spitzenkandidaten process SUMMARY The European Parliament has long sought to ensure that, by voting in European elections, European citizens not only elect the Parliament itself, but also have a say over who would head the EU executive – the European Commission. What became known as the 'Spitzenkandidaten process' is a procedure whereby European political parties, ahead of European elections, appoint lead candidates for the role of Commission President, with the presidency of the Commission then going to the candidate of the political party capable of marshalling sufficient parliamentary support. The Parliament remains firmly committed to repeating the process in 2019 and, with EP elections now only weeks away, attention has shifted to the European political parties. A number of parties have nominated lead candidates, and this briefing gives an overview of their nominees, as well as looking more broadly at the process. This is a revised and further updated edition of an earlier briefing; previous edition from February 2019. Lead candidates of the six European political parties due to participate in the Eurovision debate, to be held in Parliament’s Brussels hemicycle, on 15 May 2019. EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service Author: Laura Tilindyte Members' Research Service PE 630.264 – April 2019 EN EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service The 2019 elections: European political parties It is widely acknowledged that the European political parties will play a crucial role for the future of the Spitzenkandidaten procedure. In this respect, commentators consistently point to the daunting and, before 2014, unprecedented challenge of a multilingual, continent-wide campaign in 27 or 28 countries, each with their own political culture and sensitivities.1 The Commission has made recommendations (February 2018) in this regard, suggesting, for example, earlier selection of the lead candidates (ideally by the end of 2018), leaving more time for the campaign.

  • European Elections 2019: the Spitzenkandidaten Debates As Seen from Twitter by Francesco Castelli
    European Elections 2019: the Spitzenkandidaten debates as seen from Twitter By Francesco Castelli The 2019 European Elections have led to a reshaping of the political composition of the European Parliament. The two ‘incumbent’ groups (EPP and S&D) managed to keep the relative majority, even though they lost a number of seats in favour of the Greens, the liberals of ALDE and the right-wing populist/nationalist groups. This mixed result has further put into question the Spitzenkandidaten system, the mechanism introduced in the 2014 election by which the candidate whose party received the highest share of votes would automatically become the President in pectore of the next European Commission. Nevertheless, during the whole campaign, the Spitzenkandidaten have paid little attention to their potential delegitimization, and acted as effective candidates for the ‘EU top job’: they flew across the continent looking for support, they communicated policy plans on behalf of their transnational group in the EP and, last but not least, they participated in three public debates where they had the chance to confront each other in front of the camera—and the voters. The Spitzenkandidaten appeared to be more concerned in gaining the citizens’ trust than in focusing on specific issues—something the electorate looked more interested in doing. Debates of this kind—broadcast all across the Union, mainly through internet streaming—offer a good chance to analyse the public debate on political topics on social networks like Twitter. They tend to catalyse the attention on political topics in short, well-defined windows of time and with a broad usage of frequent words and hashtags.

  • Learning About the Unknown Spitzenkandidaten
    Learning about the unknown Spitzenkandidaten: The role of media exposure during the 2019 European Parliament elections Simon Richter1, Sebastian Stier2 1FU Berlin 2GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, Cologne Conditionally accepted at European Union Politics Abstract The Spitzenkandidaten were meant to personalize European Parlia- ment (EP) elections. This paper asks whether and through which channels the lead candidates were actually able to make themselves known among voters – a necessary precondition for any electoral effect. Combining panel surveys and online tracking data, the study explores candidate learning during the German 2019 EP election campaign and relates learning to different types of news exposure, with a special focus on online news. The results show that learning was limited and unevenly distributed across candidates. However exposure to candidate-specific online news and most types of offline news helped to acquire knowledge. The findings imply that Spitzenkandidaten stick to voters’ minds when they get exposed to them, but that exposure is infrequent in high-choice media environments. 1 Introduction European Parliament (EP) elections have traditionally suffered from low turnout (Franklin, 2001), a fact that is commonly attributed to their “second-order nature” (Reif and Schmitt, 1980). Accordingly, an impressive body of research found electoral behavior in EP elections to be driven primarily by national rather than European concerns (e.g., Hix and Marsh, 2007; Schmitt, 2005). The underlying reasons for this might be the long discussed democratic deficit of the European Union (Follesdal and Hix, 2006) and its complex political and institutional setting (Schmitter, 2000). To increase the appeal of EP elections, the establishment of the so called Spitzenkandidaten system in 2014 was meant to personalize the vote by linking EP election results to the nomination of the European Commission (EC) presidency such that the nominee should come from the party family with the biggest vote share.

    Journal of Contemporary European Research Volume 15, Issue 4 (2019) ResearCh ArtiCle Is it all about European Democracy? The Motives behind the Institutionalisation of the Spitzenkandidaten Lukáš Hamřík and Petr Kaniok Citation Hamřík, L. and Kaniok, P. (2019). ‘Is it all about European DemoCraCy? The Motives behind the Institutionalisation of the Spitzenkandidaten’, Journal of Contemporary European Research 15(4): 354-377. https://doi.org/10.30950/jcer.v15i4.950 First published at: www.jcer.net Volume 15, Issue 4 (2019) Lukáš Hamřík and Petr Kaniok Abstract The European Parliament elections in 2014 and 2019 were different insofar as European citizens had the possibility to ‘directly’ influence who could become the next President of the European Commission. This innovation is based on the idea of ‘Spitzenkandidaten’, where a vote for a given political party also represents a vote for its lead candidate. This article examines the process behind the institutionalisation of the Spitzenkandidaten procedure, with attention focused on the actors involved and their motivations for supporting this institutional innovation. Using a qualitative content analysis of EU institutional and party documentation, the article confirms that the Spitzenkandidaten procedure should be perceived as the culmination of a long-term process beginning in the pre- Amsterdam era. It also concludes that the procedure, as firstly applied in 2014, represents the common effort of two supranational institutions and four European political parties. It is also argued that while the emergence of the Spitzenkandidaten is primarily a result of perceived shortcomings of the EU’s democratic quality, actors’ self-interest was also driving force. Keywords Spitzenkandidaten; Lead candidates; EU democracy; European Commission; European Parliament; European political parties The European Union (EU) has been contending with issues of legitimacy for over half of its existence.

  • Elite Conflicts and Their Effects on Political Support As a Function of Elite and Mass Polarization
    Elite Conflicts and Their Effects on Political Support as a Function of Elite and Mass Polarization By Gergő Závecz Submitted to Central European University Doctoral School of Political Science, Public Policy and International Relations In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science Supervisor: Gábor Tóka CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary April 2017 Copyright Notice I hereby declare that this dissertation contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. This dissertation contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgment is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Gergő Závecz Budapest, April 5, 2017 CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract The main contribution of this dissertation is the exploration of how a certain type of disconnection between the political elite and citizens may impact support for the democratic political system. Specifically, this dissertation is concerned with how differences in elite and mass polarization mediate the effects of conflicts, verbal attacks and negativity among partisan elites on support for the political system. I find that it is not the frequently loathed conflict-rich talk of politicians in itself that raises negative feelings among the citizens about the political system and the actors. Rather, the effect occurs when differences in polarization between political elites and their followers are especially pronounced. Thus, the dissertation contributes

This is important from the point of view of emerging scholarship on changes in the EU and from the point of view of the self-proclaimed ‘This time it’s different!’ slogan from the Parlia- ment. The papers centre around three themes: 1) the role of the Spitzenkandidaten, 2) media and voters, and 3) electoral behaviour.

  • CONSPIRACY THEORIES VS EUROPEAN LIBERALS Edited by MIŁOSZ HODUN
    EDITED BY MIŁOSZ HODUN BEYOND FLAT EARTH CONSPIRACY THEORIES VS EUROPEAN LIBERALS BEYOND FLAT EARTH EDITED BY MIŁOSZ HODUN BEYOND FLAT EARTH CONSPIRACY THEORIES VS EUROPEAN LIBERALS People only believe what they already know, and this is the beauty of the Universal Form of Conspiracy. UMBERTO ECO INTRODUCTION by MILOSZ HODUN “The belief in the Homeric gods whose conspiracies explain the history of the Trojan War is gone. The gods are abandoned. But their place is filled by powerful men or groups – sinister pressure groups whose wickedness is responsible for all the evils we suffer from – such as the Learned Elders of Zion, or the monopolists, or the capitalists, or the imperialists” – Karl Popper. A few years ago, Europeans associated conspiracy theories with harmless lunacy. With American pop culture, which was fed stories about aliens from Roswell in New Mexico or Area 51 in Nevada, about the moon landing, which never took place or Elvis, who still lives. Or that Hitler lives... Each spectacular transportation disaster, an accident that happened to a politician or a celebrity, 8 gave rise to stories, which had followers overseas but reached Europe already modified by writers and directors. It was the same in the last few years when theories about flat Earth (entirely con- tradictory to the primary school curriculum) or humanoid reptiles taking control of the world’s most powerful grew in popularity. We watched documentaries about followers of such theories on streaming sites and treated them just like sequels of Borat, like mockumentary comedy too ridiculous to be true. However, conspiracy theories were popular in Europe.
