> The fascinating thing to me is that the EPP(European peoples party) which ironically is the strongest party in the EU and seems to be the one least representative of the people spans across almost all EU nations. Why you think that? It's the moderate conservative party. How many liberal democracies doesn't have one of those as a major party? > I find it very disturbing how the EU party system works above country party systems, where the EPP often overrides what the people in their own respective countries voted for. I'm not sure this exactly you're complaining about, but isn't that the inevitable result of any quasi-federal system? The federal government will inevitably end overriding what an individual state wants sometimes.
