The European Union: Has the Countdown Begun?

The European Union: Has the Countdown Begun?
On May 25, 2014, 388 million European Union citizens voted for more than 751 members of the European Parliament. On the agenda was the future of the “European project,” an unprecedented attempt to create a meta-national institution endowed with powers willingly relinquished by the member states and transferred to the said entity. The elections were thus a vote of confidence in the EU and a test of support by European citizens for the continued existence of the Union, and especially, the continued strengthening of its central institutions.
