Guidelines to Consider for your Research: ****Please utilize these questions to formulate your essay and critical opinion.
How are voters with postmodern values likely to regard each EU Political Party Ideology/MEP representation? How might parties adapt to these new voters?
How is immigration affecting politics in developed democracies where it is occurring on a large scale? What could promote integration? What could promote polarization?
How policies such as circular economy and Net Zero Act, climate change, gender equality and security development will be impacted by the polarization of political group members ideology rising up in the upcoming MEPs EU election?
Can the European member states sustain their sovereignty through MEPs policy making and foresee an Ultra- European sovereignty through EU elections, either creating a supranational entity or sustain its character as is?
