Live coverage from their debates? How could we have lived without it for so long?
Are they really taking themselves so important that this is needed? Now every little second row politician will feel committed more towards presenting himself in a positive light and will always eye the huge audience that is keeping him under close observation. The focus on issues, and reasonable consideration cannot improve from this.
for that reason I am against coverage via cameras and microphones from inside parliaments. Helmut Schmidt, who also opposes the idea, once said something like such a move turns a parliament even more into an assembly of narcissists than it already is.
Like so many other things, I consider this move by the EU to be exactly counterproductive. It does not add to transparency and democratic countercontrol by the people, but will cause an even trickier tailoring of speeches and a focussing on superficial shine and showacts. Next thing we get is parliamentary beauty contests.
