EXTRAIT :
The characteristics of the European political space, the uncertainty concerning its construction, its innovative nature and its openness give signs of its unstable and fragmented space. At first glance, the MEPs appear in this context as constituting a very broken up group, whether it is due to the variety of their profiles and the political uses of the European mandate, the plurality of nationalities and national political cultures, or also the resonance of national logics in the constitution of lists and in the election itself (« second order elections » ). Several observers have actually been pushed to underline the absence of a genuine European political class , socialisating process and question the existence itself of a unified definition of the function.
