Platforms of German political parties in the 2014 election to the European Parliament. Selected aspects
Abstract
Parlament Europejski przeszedł w ciągu ponad sześciu dekad swego istnienia znaczącą ewolucję, zarówno w wymiarze ilościowym, jak i jakościowym. Od 1979 r. wyłaniany jest w oparciu o powszechne wybory. Ostatnie wybory odbyły się w maju 2014 r. W Niemczech wybierano 96 posłów. Nieco wcześniej Federalny Trybunał Konstytucyjny zlikwidował klauzulę wyborczą, dzięki czemu aż 14 partii niemieckich dostało się do Parlamentu Europejskiego. Najwięcej głosów zdobyły tradycyjne partie - chadecy i socjaldemokraci. Aż siedem partii uzyskało po jednym mandacie. Głównym celem artykułu jest analiza programów wyborczych partii niemieckich biorących udział w rywalizacji wyborczej, zwłaszcza kwestie Wspólnej Polityki Zagranicznej i Bezpieczeństwa oraz problemów instytucjonalnych UE. Autor dokonuje ponadto analizy wyników wyborów i prezentuje wnioski dotyczące ewolucji niemieckiej sceny politycznej.
In the period of over six decades of its operations, the European Parliament has evolved considerably, both in quantitative and qualitative terms. Since 1979, the EP has been elected in general elections. The latest were held in May 2014. Ninety-six members of the EP were elected in Germany. Before the elections, the Federal Constitutional Court in Germany abandoned the threshold clause, allowing as many as fourteen German political parties to enter the EP. The traditional parties, the Christian Democrats and Social Democrats, won the majority of votes. As many as seven parties won a single mandate. The main purpose of this paper is to analyse the election platforms of German parties competing in the elections, in particular as concerns the matters of the Common Foreign and Security Policy and institutional problems faced by the EU. The analysis of the election results is also made, followed by conclusions on the evolution of German political arena.
