While liberal-centrists style themselves as a progressive bulwark against populist-nativism, they have yet to develop a united vision for the future of European cooperation. Richard Youngs and Camino Mortera-Martinez suggest in this article for Carnegie Europe that centrism needs to be recast as a creed capable of linking citizens to the political sphere, without tipping into simplistic majoritarianism. Bringing forward new ideas to this end, and suggesting ways of looking beyond the EU’s status quo, should be the centrists’ focus in the run-up to the EP elections. In these ways, rather than by engineering a gladiatorial contest with the populists, the new alliance could make a positive contribution to reinventing Europe.
