The Ecologists win two seats in the new House - another first. Denmark The Conservatives doubled their seats in the EP from two to four, taking one from the Liberals and one from Mr Glystrup's party. France The Union of the Opposition, an electoral list led by Simone Veil, attracted the greates number of votes, with around 43% of the total poll. The electors saw the emergence onto the European scene of Mr Le Pen's National Front with 11%. The Communists lost heavily, compared with 1979. Germany Both the major parties in Germany, the Christian Democrat-Christian Social Alliance and the Socialists sustained a slight setback in the elections, while the Liberals narrowly failed to get the threshold five per cent of votes required for representation in the EP. The Greens won 8.2% of the poll and will have seats in the EP for the first time. Greece Pasok, the Socialist Party, remains Greece's leading political movement despite a gain of around seven per cent by New Democracy. Epen, an extreme right-wing party, will be represented in the EP now though it is thought unlikely its leader,Mr Dimitriades, will be joined by Mr Almirante, from Italy, or Mr Le Pen, from France, in forming a new group in the European Parliament. Ireland Fianna Fail emerge as the winners with eight seats, compared with six for Fine Gael. The Labour Party lose all four of the seats they took in 1979. Italy The Communists polled some 99,139 votes more than the Christian Democrats, overtak·ing them in an election for the first time. (Hence the use of the term 'sorpasso' which means overtaking.) Their share of the poll went up from 29.6% in 1979 to 33.3%, the Christian Democrats' share falling back slightly from 36.4% to 33.0%. -3- Luxembourg The Socialists saw their share of the vote go up from 21.65% to 29.93 as between the two EP elections.· They take two seats, the Liberals losing one. The Christian Democrats retain their three seats, albeit with a slight reduction in their share of the poll. Netherlands While the established parties, Socialists, Christian Democrats and Liberals held their own, two new parties emerged to win representation in the EP: the ecologists and a coalition of protestant parties. The United Kingdom Labour win fifteen seats from the Conservatives to give a new balance in the UK's representation in the European Parliament. The Scottish National Member was re-elected but no Liberals or Social Democrats were returned. -4- Great Britain Party Votes % Seats Conservative 5,426,356 40.76 45 Labour 4,865,224 3 6. 55 32 SOP/Liberal Alliance 2,591,635 19 "47 SNP 230,594 l. 73 l Plaid Cymru 103,031 0.77 Ecology 74,183 0.55 Others 21,348 0.16 Total 13,312,871 100 78 Electorate: 41,917,313 Valid votes: 13,312,'371 Turnout: 31.8% -5- Northern Ireland Elections in Northern Ireland are conducted under a system of proportional representation, using the single transferable vote in a three-member constituency.

    European Community No. 26/1984 July 10, 1984 Contact: Ella Krucoff (202) 862-9540 THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: 1984 ELECTION RESULTS :The newly elected European Parliament - the second to be chosen directly by European voters -- began its five-year term last month with an inaugural session in Strasbourg~ France. The Parliament elected Pierre Pflimlin, a French Christian Democrat, as its new president. Pflimlin, a parliamentarian since 1979, is a former Prime Minister of France and ex-mayor of Strasbourg. Be succeeds Pieter Dankert, a Dutch Socialist, who came in second in the presidential vote this time around. The new assembly quickly exercised one of its major powers -- final say over the European Community budget -- by blocking payment of a L983 budget rebate to the United Kingdom. The rebate had been approved by Community leaders as part of an overall plan to resolve the E.C.'s financial problems. The Parliament froze the rebate after the U.K. opposed a plan for covering a 1984 budget shortfall during a July Council of Ministers meeting. The issue will be discussed again in September by E.C. institutions. Garret FitzGerald, Prime Minister of Ireland, outlined for the Parliament the goals of Ireland's six-month presidency of the E.C. Council. Be urged the representatives to continue working for a more unified Europe in which "free movement of people and goods" is a reality, and he called for more "intensified common action" to fight unemployment. Be said European politicians must work to bolster the public's faith in the E.C., noting that budget problems and inter-governmental "wrangles" have overshadolted the Community's benefits.

  • Unicameralism in Denmark: Abolition of the Senate, Current Functioning

    Unicameralism in Denmark: Abolition of the Senate, Current Functioning

    16 Unicameralism in Denmark Abolition of the Senate, current functioning and debate Asbjørn Skjæveland Introduction The Danish Senate, the Landsting, not only experienced a crisis but was also abolished. This paper investigates the abolition of the Landsting and the introduc­ tion of unicameralism (Arter 1991; Eigaard 1993; Thorsen s.d.). Furthermore, it investigates how well Danish unicameral democracy is working, and it pre­ sents the current low-intensity debate on the possible introduction of an additional chamber. This chapter shows that while redundancy, which is due in part to the development of the composition of the Landsting, did play a role in its abolition, so did party tactics and even the entanglement with the matters of voting age and royal succession. Thus, the full explanation for the introduction of unicameralism cannot be found in the category of rational, national-level explanations. Yet Dan­ ish democracy is doing fine. Danish voters are satisfied and the overall diagnoses of political scientists are generally positive. Clearly, not all democracies need a senate to do well. Only rarely is a new senate proposed as a solution to problems identified by observers and actors. Per Stig Møller (former minister and MP for the conservatives [Det Konservative Folkeparti]) is an exception to the rule. He suggests that it would be a good idea to reintroduce something resembling the Landsting (Møller & Jensen 2010). Still, Danish democracy is not perfect, and in a recent book it has been suggested that it could be improved by introducing an additional chamber elected by lottery (Mulvad, Larsen & Ellersgaard 2017) to improve the descriptive representation of the Danish Parliament, since the new chamber would mirror the composition of the Danish voters in terms of descrip­ tors, such as gender and education.

Mi riferisco al socialismo inteso come friend!) aiuto ai meno abbienti e come emancipazione dei lavoratori per l’affermazione dei loro diritti – come conquista di una società più libera e più giusta attraverso la formazione e l’educazione del popolo alle idee socialiste con la democrazia, senza violenza e senza prevaricazioni – come fiducia nella libertà accompagnata dalla tolleranza verso chi sbaglia. Questi sono i principi che ispirano Antonio Greppi e lo orientano verso l’impegno politico e sociale e anche in quello professionale. <http://www.arcipelagomilano.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/02tognoli02FB.gif>Dopo gli studi egli, già con l’animo socialista, si era avvicinato a Filippo Turati, ad Anna Kuliscioff, a Claudio Treves, a Giacomo Matteotti, stimolato anche dagli insegnamenti liceali del professor Ugo Guido Mondolfo che a quei maestri era molto legato.
