The European Parliament is trying to figure out how to be more important in the EU. Even though it has more power now, people don't really care about EU politics. The Parliament needs to do more than just fix the EU's democracy problem - it also needs to help with social changes. The Parliament needs to change how it works to help the EU be better at governing a new kind of society in Europe. The Parliament's roles in symbols, representation, and making laws are important. The Parliament needs to change to be more useful in the future.
