This chapter looks at how far the EU decision making process can meet the first criterion and satisfy the normative requirements of a two level game among the governments and the demoi of the different member states. It starts by exploring the concept of representation and notes that while decision making in the Commission and EP rests on an ontology of solidarism and that between states on that of singularity, both prove problematic. Instead, we need to encourage apolitical ontology of civicity. It is argued one way to achieve this result is through the involvement of national parliaments.
