Citizens are becoming increasingly disenchanted with European elites and supra-national institutions such as the European Commission, which impose rules and regulations that conflict with their countries' economic interests and sovereignty. Voters are restless, as the Greek election result demonstrated.
最后，欧洲面临严重的治理赤字。公民对欧洲精英和超国家机构（如欧盟委员会）越来越不信任，因为它们所实施的规则和监管与其国家的经济利益和主权相冲突。选民焦躁不安，希腊选举结果就是明证。民族主义情绪在日益高涨，极右翼和极左翼煽动性政党在选举中纷纷得势。
