Europäische Union / Europäisches Parlament , Wählertäuschung , Macht , Transparenz
Abstract:
This paper challenges the assertation that European politics would be closer to the citizens' preferences if decision power were transferred from the Council of Ministers to the European Parliament. On the one hand, citizens benfit from a greater transparency in the Parliament's debates compared to the Council's decisions. On the other hand, a powerful European Parliament would be less accountable to the voters of each state since in the European election each state is only decisive with a small probability.
