How the EU can enlarge

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:31:47 GMT

Nathalie Tocci is director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali and a part-time professor at the European University Institute. Her latest book, “A Green and Global Europe,” is out with Polity.The European Union doesn’t like to enlarge.Even in the best of times, enlargement leads to a dilution of power for existing members.

And, while he managed to hang on to Boris Johnson’s old seat of Uxbridge, few believe it’s the sign of a big Tory resurgence.“They have at least got one straw to cling to,” Anthony Wells, head of research at YouGov, said of the Tories’ Uxbridge result. “Not a very good straw, but if you’re in a storm you cling to what you can.”As Conservative MPs flee Westminster and head back to their constituencies for an earful from voters, there’s a sense the prime minister needs to use his summer wisely and come back with a fired-up plan to save the party’s skin.“Incremental ...
