Just got back from the election party in Stockholm. One seat in the EU parliament is just what (pp) needs for the Riksdagen election 2010. Most likely, there are differences hidden under the purple surface of the party that will show now. The maturity process is started.
Will be interesting to see if this spawns copycats throughout Europe. At the very least the established parties should take notice. Infopolitics is here to stay.
- mblakele 17y agoI've read that most of the power is tied up in committees (http://www.economist.com/world/europe/displaystory.cfm?story_id=13788340 http://www.economist.com/world/europe/displaystory.cfm?story...). If it's like the US House of Representatives, that means seniority is necessary for any real power. Legislation by committee is also a great way to wield power behind closed doors, since the media rarely reports on what they do. Is there an EU equivalent to Congressional Quarterly (http://cq.com/ http://cq.com/)?
