PARTY GROUPS IN THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT (6449 words)
Fifteen years and three parliaments on from 1979, statistical analysis shows that, contrary to the foregoing paragraph, there is no reason why party groups in the European parliament should be unable to attain impressive degrees of cohesion simply by virtue of their being transnational.
Groups such as national delegations to the EP may start off by being quite similar to national party counterparts in their social characteristics or initial belief systems, only to become increasingly divergent from the latter and convergent with their transnational party group.
The cohesion of the party groups will fall; the EP will be perceived as a 'penetrated institution', no longer able to contribute to the overall legitimacy of the EU by making good on its claim to be the only institution capable of checking an increasingly closed cartel of governments.
