 A notable development is a new reluctance among Eurosceptic parties to pus
 h for a break from the EU. As one commentary put it\, ‘instead of promisin
 g to protect people from the European Union\, populists have started promi
 sing to make the EU protect the people’. In 2016\, at least 15 parties acr
 oss Europe campaigned for a referendum on their country’s EU membership. Y
 et today\, populists in countries such as France\, Sweden\, the Netherland
 s\, Italy and Germany seem focused on securing change from within the EU. 
 The UK’s long battle to leave demonstrates the difficulties of a state ext
 racting itself from the EU. Has this\, along with the experience of Syriza
  – recently voted out of power in Greece after failing to resist the onero
 us bailout conditions – dealt a fatal blow to support for a return to nati
 onal and popular sovereignty?\nThe new mood was captured Matteo Salvini\, 
 leader of the League in Italy – now in opposition – who promoted the idea 
 of a ‘Common-Sense Europe’: not an end to the EU\, but a changed EU\, one 
 that focuses more on security\, manages immigration more closely and takes
  a ‘nation first’ approach to the economy. But given that in the EU Parlia
 ment the League belongs to an alliance outnumbered by pro-EU parties\, how
  can it challenge EU legislation and promote national priorities on the li
 kes of migration policy\, deficit spending and monetary instruments such a
 s Mini-BOTs? More broadly\, how will it create genuine change\, given a to
 othless parliament where MEPs cannot propose legislation?\nAnd what of the
  EU itself? How viable is ‘reform’ and can this inject a democratic purpos
 e into the EU? After all\, the much-promoted Spitzenkandidat party groupin
 gs voting system for electing officials fell apart immediately when the ne
 w Commission president was imposed via deals cooked up within the Council 
 of Ministers. The Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 believes that a citize
 n-oriented New Deal for Europe can help the EU can become democratic force
  for good. Others argue\, however\, that not only is the EU undemocratic b
 ut it is inherently anti-democratic. How can the EU be democratic\, they s
 ay\, when its role is to constrain popular sovereignty and democracy\, and
  to separate the seat of power and control in Europe from any expression o
 f the popular will?\nHow should we see the future of the EU and the nation
 s within it? Can a case be made for the idea of ‘remain and reform’ and fo
 r an evolved\, more democratic EU where nation states function democratica
 lly\, taking account of the will of their national population? Or does the
  EU remain an empire in decay – one that will undermine the desires expres
 sed through popular sovereignty?\nSPEAKERS\nDavid Adler\npolicy leader fel
