  • Parliamentarians in Brexit Talks
    February 2017 Parliamentarians in Brexit talks Bulls in a china shop? By Agata Gostyńska-Jakubowska Parliamentarians in Brexit talks: Bulls in a china shop? By Agata Gostyńska-Jakubowska Parliamentarians in Westminster and in the European Parliament will have to ratify the final withdrawal agreement between the EU-27 and the UK. MEPs have in the past used their veto in international negotiations when the European Commission and the member-states have not involved them properly in the negotiation process. European leaders have agreed to brief the European Parliament before and after Council meetings at which ministers will discuss the negotiating mandate of the EU-27. The Parliament’s representative, Guy Verhofstadt, will also participate in the preparatory meetings of the European Council. But member-states have refused to allow him to join the EU’s negotiating team. Verhofstadt has threatened that MEPs could vote down the final withdrawal agreement if EU leaders do not change their minds. If the European Parliament vetoed the exit deal, the UK would leave the EU without an agreement on migrants’ rights, customs arrangements or budget liabilities. This is as risky for the EU as it is for the UK. Threatening to vote down the final withdrawal deal just to make a point about inter-institutional co-operation could undermine the European Parliament’s public standing. EU citizens expect MEPs to focus on addressing their problems rather than on playing power games. The British government has promised that Westminster would exercise the same level of scrutiny in the exit talks as the European Parliament. But it may argue that it cannot reveal its negotiating position to parliamentarians, lest it undermines its bargaining hand.

  • Europe After Brexit: Unleashed Or Undone? by Ian Bond, Sophia Besch, Agata Gostyńska-Jakubowska, Rem Korteweg, Camino Mortera-Martinez and Simon Tilford
    April 2016 Europe after Brexit Unleashed or undone? By Ian Bond, Sophia Besch, Agata Gostyńska-Jakubowska, Rem Korteweg, Camino Mortera-Martinez and Simon Tilford Europe after Brexit: Unleashed or undone? By Ian Bond, Sophia Besch, Agata Gostyńska-Jakubowska, Rem Korteweg, Camino Mortera-Martinez and Simon Tilford If the UK votes to leave the EU, Britain will certainly change, but so will the EU. The remaining member-states would not automatically oppose British views, but nor would they always accommodate them. Though Britain is one of the most economically liberal countries in the EU, there has been a growing consensus across the Union in favour of liberalising internal markets in goods, services and labour. Continued access to these markets, however, would depend on UK acceptance of EU rules, including on the free movement of labour. A key part of David Cameron’s deal with the EU was a set of rules to govern the relationship between euro-ins and euro-outs. Post-Brexit, the eurozone would have more power to drive economic and financial policy in the EU regardless of the views of the remaining euro-outs. But divisions within the eurozone make rapid eurozone integration very unlikely, at least in the near term. The UK has pushed for a bottom-up approach to creating a Capital Markets Union (CMU), while France and the Commission want a big push from the centre, and a strong common regulator. Even without the UK, progress towards a CMU would continue, but its nature would be different. The UK has been a leader on climate policy, pushing for ambitious carbon emissions targets.

  • European Parliament Elections 2014 RESEARCH PAPER 14/32 11 June 2014
    European Parliament Elections 2014 RESEARCH PAPER 14/32 11 June 2014 Elections to the European Parliament were held across the 28 states of the European Union between 22 and 25 May 2014. The UK elections were held concurrently with council elections in England and Northern Ireland on 22 May. The UK now has 73 MEPs, up from 72 at the last election, distributed between 12 regions. UKIP won 24 seats, Labour 20, the Conservatives 19, and the Green Party three. The Liberal Democrats won only one seat, down from 11 at the 2009 European election. The BNP lost both of the two seats they had won for the first time at the previous election. UKIP won the popular vote overall, and in six of the nine regions in England. Labour won the popular vote in Wales and the SNP won in Scotland. Across the UK as a whole turnout was 35%. Across Europe there was an increase in the number of seats held by Eurosceptic parties, although more centrist parties in established pro-European groups were still in the majority. The exact political balance of the new Parliament depends on the formation of the political groups. Turnout across the EU was 43%. It was relatively low in some of the newer Member States. Part 1 of this paper presents the full results of the UK elections, including regional analysis and local-level data. Part 2 presents a summary of the results across the EU, together with country-level summaries based on data from official national sources.

About this report and VoteWatch Europe There are, of course, many dimensions to the question of whether the UK should leave the EU. One question that has arisen during the debate in the UK in the countdown to the referendum on 23 June is whether the UK has become isolated in EU policy-making: in the Council and European Parliament. Similarly, from the perspective of the rest of the EU, what might be the policy implications for the EU as a whole be if the UK left the EU? With our dataset on voting in the European Parliament and Council of the EU, VoteWatch is uniquely placed to provide some answers to these questions.
