What practical steps could the European Parliament take to build awaren

The Preamble of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European junction explicitly states that the Union is baseed upon principles of nation and places the private at the heart of its activities. putting these two founding ideas from the Preamble into a comprehensive guide for democracy in the European Union, one can deduce the importance of an individuals corporation within the international entity. Given that voter participation is an indispensable element of a legitimate democratic process, it therefore mud essential for the European Union to promote its democratic nature and intent. The easiest focus to do this is through its only democratically elective body the European fantan. In order for both internal members and external observers of the Union to behold it as a legitimate democratic entity, the Union ought to seek to maximise the democratic utility of the European sevens. As the only directly elected institution within the European Union, the European Pa rliament carries a particular(prenominal) and unique responsibility in establishing and maintaining the democratic reputation of the entire European Union. In this paper, by first providing a description of the Parliament and the deficiencies of its contemporary role within the Union, I will suggest a cast of steps to be taken by both the European Parliament and the European Union to foster aw arness and support of the institution amongst the European Public. The concept of an European identity, the role and use of the media, and the quality of election campaigns are three interrelated ideas that, if dually cultivated, could prolong a highly beneficial meet on the awareness and support of the European Parliament amongst the public.Although the purpose of... ...an Parliament is to draw attention towards what has been deemed a communication deficit (Bilska 2011). The final hypnotism that I have found most ever-present in the literary works regarding the high levels of the E uropean publics apathy towards the institution of the European Parliament is political campaigning. While the three aforementioned suggestions (development of a supranational identity, improvement of media coverage and improved campaign strategies) are frequently found in the literature concerning the normative behaviour of the European Parliament, most authors have failed to take into account ulterior factors that could be attributed to high citizen apathy. As proposed in this paper, I suggest that there are logistical deficiencies within the European Union as a whole which are contributing to the drop of European solidarity amongst its citizens.
