Given the technical nature of the discussion on transnational lists, European Democracy Consulting presents a detailed outline of the shortcomings and limitations of the European Parliament’s proposal for a reform of the EU electoral act.
This report, written for the benefit of the Council of the European Union, highlights the shortcomings of the European Parliament’s proposal for a Union-wide constituency and introduces the Ranked apportionment method.
This quick review critically analyses three major components of the design of transnational lists: the size of the constituency, the apportionment method, and the distribution method.
The Ranked apportionment method is a simple and elegant voting method remedying the shortcomings identified for the creation of a true European transnational constituency.
Instead of the mere band-aid of transnational lists, let us reform EU parties and engage on a bold reform to engage citizens and make our election truly European.
