Whereas the European Parliament election in 2009 suffered
from state-level issues and low voter-turnout, the legislative election in 2014
promises to be a super-charged one in the “super-nation.” Most notably, the electoral contests are “shaping up as no less than a
referendum on the merits of continuing on with the European Union itself.”[2]
With popular distrust of the E.U. at an all-time high, this bit of news seems
rather bad for pro-E.U. Europeans. Any pessimism in anticipation of the election
that exists is mitigated by “the bigger picture.”
