Kolejna demokratyczna rewolucja: od zielonych prawyborów po listy europejskie

The 2014 European Green Party primaries served as an unprecedented experiment in pan-European internal party democracy, allowing members across the continent to select the lead candidate for the European Parliament campaign. While the process faced challenges regarding communication and turnout, it demonstrated the potential for transnational political mobilization. The author argues that this experience should lead to the creation of transnational electoral lists—specifically proposing a 25-member general European list—to shift the political narrative from national interests to a shared European project and to counter populist discourse.

• The 2014 European Green Party primaries were an unprecedented pan-European experiment that allowed members across the continent to participate in choosing the lead face of the European Green Party's campaign for the European Parliament.
• The author advocates for the introduction of transnational electoral lists, specifically referencing a report by MEP Duff that proposed a 25-person general European list alongside national mandates to encourage voters to identify with a common integration project rather than particular national interests.
• In Germany, the primaries saw the highest absolute number of votes due to the size of the population and the German Greens, but the process suffered from late communication and overly complex technical procedures.
• In France, the European primaries occurred amidst a growing domestic popularity of primaries, inspired by the 2012 presidential elections and the Socialist Party's 2011 primaries, though turnout for the Green primaries was hindered by concurrent local elections.
• Spain showed a relatively high participation rate in the Green primaries because primaries are widely viewed as a tool to prevent the stagnation of party elites and are used by newer parties like UPyD, EQUO, and Podemos.
