New politics. A new Europe. / A thriving EU with renewed legitimacy

Give the Prime Minister more powers over the selection of their cabinet

  • Grant the Prime Minister leadership over a Cabinet of Ministers, whose size is not determined by the number of Member States, but by the needs of the EU government and its citizens.

  • Allow for the removal from office of any Minister or of the European Government as a whole by a vote of no confidence by the European Parliament at any time, thus making it accountable to European citizens.

The 5+1 challenges

Volt has defined 5+1 fundamental Challenges that need to be tackled in each European country and in Europe as a whole.

Why 5 + 1 Challenges?

The 5 Challenges are basically the same for every country, but their implementation can be adapted on the national level to take into account local realities.

The +1 Challenge – our proposal to reform and strengthen the EU – is identical across all our national programmes.
