Summary
Elections are supposed to legitimise governments. However, it is elections themselves whose legitimacy seems
to be in question. Voters are increasingly unwilling to vote, even at national elections and, when they do, are
attracted to parties whose stated platforms and appeal seem flatly at odds with democratic norms of freedom and
equality. These developments raise a question-mark over the long-term capacity of elections to legitimize political
institutions and policies in Europe, and that question-mark is what motivates REDEM.
