Book: Political Parties In The European Union At the start of the European integration process in the early 1950's, several scholars predicted a central role for party politics in the construction of a European Community.
Politics in the European Union is party politics. Almost all members of the Council, the Commission and European Parliament are leading party politicians who have spent most of their careers in party bureaucracies, are chosen within parties and accountable to party leaderships. Moreover, as in domestic politics, competition between party elites for political office and public policy outcomes is an essential feature of EU politics.
