Abstract
In this commentary, Xavier Vanden Bosch shows that European elections in the French-speaking part of Belgium have a flavour of indirect voting. Political stakes are low for political parties, and voters have little say in the choice of their candidates to the European Parliament. Rather than overtly focusing on individual electoral rules governing the European elections, a solution could come from the introduction of a European constituency. This would stimulate a truly European debate, raise the stakes and offer a wider choice of candidates for citizens.
