Today, Debating Europe is publishing the third and final round of its head-to-head video debate in the European Parliament between Sergei Stanishev, former Prime Minister of Bulgaria, leader of the Bulgarian Socialist Party and President of the Party of European Socialists, and Sir Graham Watson, British Liberal Democrat MEP and President of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party.

You can watch all three rounds in the videos below. For the final round, we asked both men to give short responses to a series of questions on a wide range of issues affecting Europe and the EU. Hopefully, this will give you an idea of some of the different policies that the two parties are advocating. Remember, however, that there are many political groups, ideologies and parties within the European Parliament, and you can cast your vote for any of them. Over the coming days, we will be taking your comments and questions to MEPs from each of the different parties, so you can get a sense of which issues seperate the different sides.







What do YOU think? Are rule of law and anti-corruption measures in Bulgaria and Romania strong enough to justify Schengen membership? Is the EU too dependent on Russian oil and gas? Should the EU support the arming of rebels in Syria? And should the UK hold a referendum on EU membership? Let us know your thoughts and comments in the form below, and we’ll take them to policy-makers and experts for their response.
