@xChaos , no, it's a call to action. I have no desire for folowers, boosts and favs - though thanks for them! Just, I'm calling for "action" that may be unusual for some, and I'm deliberately refraining from moving towards "actions" that are more common.
I am calling for action of perhaps a small but distinct internal transformation that involves alignment with at least one other resident or citizen of the Union.

The result is a clearly rendered shape in my soul / mind / heart that is aligned with a clearly rendered shape in your soul / mind / heart and at the same time it is represented by, say, some short text. The same can be done in a small(!!) group.
And by the action of "consensus on conclusions" transformed we can / will / want to go further. I consider it super-important not to skip those first, small steps.
3/7
I'm presenting the enumeration in text form, but it's actually a three-character space - vertical bar - space separated table. It's easy to load it into LibreCalc or something similar. There's no limit to initiative to add somethin, but I'd rather recommend moderation until we get to the number 361.

More fundamental to me is the discovery, which is clumsy to express theoretically, but one immediately gets it when one starts to deal with the concrete: that simply concepts and ideas fail when moving from member country to member country and that we do not have a clear, concise, understandable description of "our"(!?) political direction.

Including the fact that the political groups in the Parliament are somehow historically structured and it doesn't make much sense to me anymore. It's a new era. There are new challenges.

The enumeration of 361 can actually serve as a description of a political direction. We can't put it into words yet. We can't raise the right banners. But we have a "leader". It's a kind of "Union" leader. Firstly, he doesn't lead much and secondly, he's a collective. But it could serve as something that "we"(!?), a certain kind of inhabitants or citizens can relate to.

They won't be doing the governing, they're a co-legislator (like the Czech Parliament is to the Czech Senate, but weaker because it cannot initiate laws). It will get to approve or reject one half of the executive, the civil service. The agreement is what the other half governmt in The Big Hummus Room is discussing right now after they finished their courgette flower stuffed with vegetables and rosemary tarte tatin dessert (no, I'm not making it up). #EUCO

They've apparently had a constructive agreement about the bare bones of the pompously named Strategic Agenda 2024-2029, though that's mostly an outline we'll see what they make of The Draghi Report in July and where defence spending talks go, etc etc. Details here:

@Veza85UE , I don't understand. I don't understand. What is the legal status of these conclusions and these agendas. Is it really none? More wailing here:
