Peter Sain ley Berry is a writer who maintains a blog with euobserver.com and is supporting the Campaign for a PES Primary. Peter writes, "... [the voters] should know – or so the argument goes – that if they vote for the Socialists or the democratic right then this man, or that woman, whose face will have figured on the party manifesto and whose background will have been researched by the newspapers, will become President of the Commission." He further writes, "Anyone so selected who became the head of the EU executive would then have a genuine democratic mandate from the voters ... I feel it is an excellent idea ..."

PES activists are campaigning for a more democratic Europe starting with our own party, the Party of European Socialists. We believe that the individual members of all of the PES parties in the EU should choose our candidate for President of the European Commission at the next European Parliament elections in 2014. The PES is the progressive force in European politics. Well, let's progress, let's inject some more democracy into the EU.
