2. Back to the 50s ! (or before)




3. Once more from the top: A constitutional convention


4. I want to tell you a narrative: A series of

conferences




5. Occupy Europe (let 500 million General Assemblies bloom)



We risk a crisis that undoes the gains of

By Christmas, we’ll have a new Parliament

and Commission: a fresh start

Networking democracy

Open, organic and collaborative


but with the structure democracy needs

• Make networks of networks

• Ten commandments of new politics for the new Commission and Parliament



So … over to you
