Elections to the European Parliament in May 2014, may represent an institutional precedent in the development of the European Union.

The European Parliament has managed to impose European Council the nomination of Jean-Claude Juncker (Jean-Claude Juncker) as candidate for presidency of the European Commission, as the leader of the federation center-right parties that won the most votes in the parliamentary election. Democratically elected President of the Commission should have a stronger role in determining and leading the policy of the Commission, a greater influence in the selection of commissioners and greater political accountability for the European Parliament. The way that happened European parliamentary elections in 2014. actually contributes to the growth and influence of supranational democratic institutions within the institutional system of the European Union.
