European politics

EU parliamentary affairs

The political systems, institutions, and activities of European nations, particularly within the European Union framework.

European politics encompasses debates over integration versus national sovereignty, coalition governments, parliamentary systems, and distinctive concerns like Brexit, migration policy, and the eurozone: European politics has shifted rightward in recent years.

The term often implies a contrast with American political culture—more parties, more consensus-building, stronger welfare states.
