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.
Our Facebook Group page now has 2,177 members. Will you support the Campaign for a PES Primary? Click here to join.

FEPS paper on selecting PES candidate
Dr Ania Skrzypek, Policy Adviser with the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS), has written a fascinating academic article on the options available to the PES for the nomination and selection of a candidate for the Presidency of the European Commission in 2014.
The article examines a number of options for selecting a PES candidate for Commission President, including slecting the PES President ex-officio, having the PES Presidency (it's executive body) decide, leaving the decision to national party leaders and officials or opening the selection process to all members of PES parties by holding primary elections.
Ania's paper is available here.
