That is what I demand from European politics, to permeate into our daily lives.<BR/><BR/>You cannot interest everyone at every time, that is true, but you can interest many at many times. And especially if the destination is unknown, you will have to tell people why they should even join the path.<BR/><BR/>Our interest of following what is going on in Europe has to be raised constantly, if not we might turn around and just look for the paths we have been going before. National politics are such paths. As a new path with unknown destination, Europe has to show that it can be different but still interesting... Not for everyone, but for as many as possible.Julien Frischhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18167141111642456560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-492174345240444269.post-35957901693479479442008-11-11T13:38:00.000+01:002008-11-11T13:38:00.000+01:00I read this article with great interest, Julien.

But if I may paraphrase Henry Ford, you can be interesting to some of the people some of the time, but you can't be interesting to all of the people all of the time. National governance is not continuously interesting, but it is tacitly accepted. The same cannot be said about the EU level of governance. Maybe an important consideration is the fact that 'Europe' remains a process on a journey, to echo Shonfield, to an unknown destination... In any case, keep up the blogging!
