Idea of input legitimacy (if you vote for it) or output legitimacy (the outcomes are positive) Until last elections turnout was constantly falling, last elections it rose apathy towards eu and even those who vote vote on national issues (second order elections) People vote for the person punish national government but parliament isn"t structured by nation. Previously considered a retirement house" older politicians with no role in their countries that still want a good pay check now it"s a more ambitious career choice to get into international politics. Party in european parliament sit based on their ideologies. Still there to represent their constituency put more pressure in specific issues but groups are pretty cohesive work together in large coalitions. Brexit will bring about slight changes in party dynamics in the european parliament.
