In the United Kingdom, the election for the country’s 73 Members of the European Parliament will be held on Thursday 22 May 2014. The elections come at a crucial junction for UK-EU relations, and are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the UK’s relationship with the rest of Europe: a surge in support for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) could lead to a Britain that is increasingly dis-engaged from the EU policy-making process. In parallel, the current UK Government is also conducting a review of the EU’s powers and Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly pushed for a ‘repatriation’ of powers from the European to the national level. These long-term political developments aside, the elections will also have more direct and tangible consequences.

European Elections in the UK Media Briefing 7Th May 2014 UKIP and the 2014 European Parliament Elections
European Elections in the UK Media Briefing 7th May 2014 UKIP and the 2014 European Parliament elections Dr Philip Lynch ([email protected]) & Dr Richard Whitaker ([email protected]) University of Leicester UKIP and the 2014 European Elections Philip Lynch ( [email protected], @drphiliplynch ) and Richard Whitaker ( [email protected], @rickwhitaker ) Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Leicester UKIP go into the 2014 European elections in a far stronger position than they did five years earlier. The crucial differences are first, that UKIP have not experienced the decline in support in general election polling that they normally do after a European election. On the contrary, they are now consistently placed in third position in polls of general election vote intentions. Second, their ratings in polls of European election vote intention are some ten points higher on average than they were in the run up to the 2009 contest for seats in the European Parliament (EP). Third, they have more than double the number of members and a much better, even if still small base in local councils having secured 147 seats in the 2013 local elections. Fourth, while they have benefitted in the past from Conservative supporters lending UKIP their vote, they are in an even better position to do so this time around given that the Tories are now in government. On top of that, if UKIP’s campaign to win even more support from working class voters is successful, they will make headway in areas where Labour are traditionally strong. The presence of the Liberal Democrats in government alongside the collapse of the BNP add to the auspicious conditions for UKIP in 2014.

Un Nouveau Groupe Politique Au Parlement Européen : Europe Des Nations Et Des Libertés (ENL) 5 Août 2015
Un nouveau groupe politique au Parlement européen : Europe des Nations et des Libertés (ENL) 5 août 2015 Après deux ans et demi d’efforts, Marine Le Pen (Front national, FR) et Marcel de Graaff (PVV1, NL) ont annoncé, le 16 juin dernier, la naissance d’un nouveau groupe politique au sein du Parlement européen : Europe des Nations et des Libertés (ENL). Ténacité justifiée par les moyens significatifs dont bénéficient les groupes mais succès peut-être de courte durée si l’on s’en réfère à la fragilité des groupes de la mouvance eurosceptique observée au cours des précédentes législatures. I. Contexte et enjeux de la création du groupe ENL Un groupe politique2 du Parlement européen doit réunir au moins 25 eurodéputés représentant au moins un quart des Etats membres (soit 7)3. Forte des bons résultats de son parti aux élections européennes de mai 2014 (24 élus sur les 74 députés attribués à la France), Marine Le Pen a immédiatement cherché à former un groupe mais elle a peiné à réunir autour du Front national suffisamment de partis ayant les mêmes « affinités politiques »4, au-delà de ses alliés traditionnels que sont le FPÖ autrichien et le Vlaams Belang flamand. Dans sa recherche de partenaires, le FN s’est trouvé pris en tenaille entre son refus de s’associer à des partis jugés trop xénophobes ou extrémistes (l’Aube Dorée grecque, le Jobbik hongrois et le KNP polonais) et la réaction suscitée par ses propres prises de position chez d’autres formations politiques eurosceptiques, telle l’UKIP de Nigel Farage.
