But Europe still has a long way to go, which is apparent from the fact that only a minority of European citizens followed the campaign. A supra-national political space can develop only if European politics gains visibility, influence, and credibility.
但欧洲仍有很长的路要走，这一点从只有少数欧洲公民跟进了竞选活动这一事实便可一览无余。超国家政治空间只有在欧洲政治获得透明度、影响力和信誉的情况下才有可能获得发展。因此，欧洲领导人应该就下任欧盟委员会主席的人选问题迅速形成妥协，从而打消普通公民关于欧洲政治仍被幕后扯皮左右的印象。
