![Elections force communication
No EU institution is close to the basic definition of
a party system from Schumpeter, composed of 4
main elements of the role of political parties:
Parties present programmes
Voters make an informed choice between
competing parties
The successful party puts its programme into
practice
The governing party judged on its successes at
the next election

The document discusses challenges with communication from the EU and incentives for different EU institutions to communicate. It notes that the EU Commission and Parliament do not have strong incentives to communicate beyond Brussels as their political futures do not depend on it. The Council and member states may have more incentive to communicate EU successes as national successes.
