br. Dopo una serie di contributi generali, il libro analizza paese per paese la nona elezione del Parlamento europeo, luogo di rappresentanza politica (art. 14TUE) di cinquecento milioni di cittadini degli Stati membri dell'Unione europea e quindi cittadini europei, ai sensi dell'art. 9 TUE. All'interno del testo non si manca di evidenziare la necessità che il Parlamento riprenda il centro del sistema politico; che gli Stati membri - se vogliono preservare questo splendido giocattolo che è l'Unione europea - accettino di lasciar giocare questo ruolo al Parlamento; che la Commissione si ponga in funzione veramente servente del progetto politico che saprà uscire dal luogo della rappresentanza; che il sistema giudiziario europeo sappia rispettare - all'interno e nel rispetto dei principi e delle tradizionali costituzionali comuni - le scelte che la rappresentanza politica dovrà compiere.
