Participants took it for granted that we were already living in a multi-tier EU. They did not, however, agree on the number and nature of the emerging tiers. Some thought that the euro would be only one amongst several emerging clusters. Additional clusters would evolve around foreign policy or immigration, and they would all overlap. Other participants, however, were convinced that the EU would fall apart into a eurozone core and an increasingly marginalised group of euro ‘outs’. Many participants thought that the euro would require stronger economic governance to survive, including a fiscal union and a much bigger central budget. In such a scenario, the barriers to entry into the single currency would increase, turning euro pre-ins into permanent outs. Some participants thought that a banking union consisting of common supervision and a deposit insurance fund would be enough to make the euro sustainable. This minimal solution would have less severe implications for the structure of the EU. Many people at the event worried that in a multi-tier EU the single market would fragment, or that it might even be rolled back.

Institutional Innovation in the EU: the Presidency of the European Council (ARI)
Area: Europe ARI 47/2010 Date: 16/3/2010 Institutional Innovation in the EU: The Presidency of the European Council (ARI) Carlos Closa * Theme: Herman Van Rompuy’s incumbency is likely to define the future content and scope of the position of President of the European Council.1 Summary: The short period of time that has elapsed since the designation of the first permanent President of the European Council makes it difficult to make any assessment so far. However, beyond the formal aspects, how the incumbent performs will be decisive for the posts future consideration. Furthermore, this initial moment is critical in that it will probably set the course to be followed in the future. How Van Rompuy manages is likely to affect the position’s definition and scope as much as Javier Solana’s incumbency shaped the post of High Representative. Analysis: The Organ’s Genesis Differently to other institutional innovations in the EU, the Presidency of the European Council established by the Treaty of Lisbon has not been long in the making. It appeared on the agenda at the beginning of the Convention on the Future of Europe. According to Peter Norman’s account of events (Norman, 2004, p. 138), Jack Straw was the first to moot the idea that rotating chairs at the European Council should be considered.2 Subsequently, in March 2002, Jacques Chirac mentioned for the first time a ‘President of the European Union’ (sic), arguing that the current system of rotating Presidencies would not be viable in an enlarged Union and, hence, that the EU’s leaders should

Richard Corbett The main risk will be to result in a big disappointment, if proposals supported by citizens will be not followed up by the European institutions. British politician and former Member of the However, it can also offer a great opportunity to progressives to introduce European Parliament (1996-2009 and 2014- 20) for the S&D Group largely-needed changes in the European construction, enhancing the European Union’s capacity to act and deliver in a number of cross-border sectors (from healthcare to climate change, from economic justice to migration), and strengthening its democratic accountability and transparency.

Evolving and Adapting in Line with People's Expectations and Needs
Make Votes Matter www.makevotesmatter.org.uk Contact: Joe Sousek Chris Skidmore MP E: [email protected] Minister for the Constitution T: 07402 965566 Cabinet Office 70 Whitehall London SW1A 2AS Copied to: Theresa May Prime Minister 10th October 2016 If our Constitution is to continue “evolving and adapting in line with people’s expectations and needs” the case for Proportional Representation must be given full and fair consideration Dear Mr Skidmore, Congratulations on your appointment as Minister for the Constitution. Now more than ever, stewardship of the UK’s constitution and democratic processes is a crucial role. We therefore welcome your commitment to “see our democracy grow in strength and that everyone can have their voice heard”1, and we wish you every success in the job. It is difficult, however, to see how our democracy can grow in strength or how everyone can have their voice heard without addressing the failures of the UK’s primary democratic process: the election of MPs to the House of Commons through our First Past the Post (FPTP) electoral system. In May 2015, one quarter (24.4%) of votes went to the candidates and manifestos of the Green Party, the Liberal Democrats or UK Independence Party. But FPTP delivered a parliament in which these parties share ten seats (1.5% of 650 Commons seats). This cannot be said to be a parliament in which “everyone can have their voice heard”. On the contrary, it is a parliament from which the voices of 7.5 million voters are all but excluded. If our democracy is to grow in strength, it is incumbent upon us to ensure that every vote carries equal weight.
