Talk:2009 European Parliament election

'Truly' Pan-Europe Parties
The article states that these parties emerged recently. If I am mistaken, Oswald Mosely proposed such an idea in the 50's or 60's

Infobox elections: not group leaders, but frontrunners!
It is a non-sense to display the pictures of group chairs of the 2009-2014 European Parliament as leaders of the political parties for the 2014 election campaign, in the "infobox elections". Chairmen don't play any role in the campaign. That's why no wikipage on any other parliamentary elections in the world presents parliamentary group leaders of the previous legislature in the infobox.

As for any parliamentary election, the box should only contain the pictures of the parties' frontrunners in the elections, their candidates for Commission president. If parties do not designate any frontrunner, well, there should be simply no picture at all. For the 2009 elections, the only picture to be displayed should therefore be the one of Barroso, the only presidential nominee in this election (that's sad but that's how it is !). For the 2014 elections, I propose you not to make the same mistake (and I made the subsequent changes). 21:50, 7 February 2011

What is more, there is no "Majority leader election". It makes no sense to present Joseph Daul as winner of a "Majority leader election". The only election that took place after the EP elections was the election of the European Commission president.
