2014年欧洲议会选举探析——“欧洲选举”还是“次等国内选举”?

2014 European Parliamentary Election:A European Election or Second-order National Elections?

2014年5月22日-25日,第八次欧洲议会选举在欧盟28个成员国进行。选举结果是:主流政党丢失选票,极右翼政党获得更多席位。此次选举充分体现了欧洲议会选举所具有的"次等国内选举"的特征。新一届欧洲议会的联盟构建总体保持稳定,极右翼议员的增多会促使主流党团结盟即"大联盟"的比例有所增加。极右翼政党对欧洲议会的影响相对有限,但是对成员国政治可能影响深远。欧洲议会与欧洲理事会围绕下一届欧盟委员会主席的人选进行了复杂的政治博弈,容克的最终当选体现出诸多政治信息。

From 22 nd to 25 th May 2014,the 8th European election was held in 28 EU member states.The result of the election was not beyond the prediction in that the main political parties lost votes and the extreme right-wing parties gained more seats.This European election showed that it still possessed the characteristics of second-order national elections.The coalition formation in the European Parliament will remain stable and the rise of the extreme right will promote the cooperation between the main political groups.The influence of the extreme right on the newly-elected European Parliament will be relatively limited,but they may exert profound impacts on domestic politics.The European Parliament and the European Council had carried out complicated struggles on the candidates for the next president of the European Commission and Mr.Juncker's final election delivers a lot of political information.
