Discuss this statement and consider how concerns over the democratic legitimacy of the European Union ought to be addressed.

The Lisbon Treaty has gone some way towards addressing the European Union’s democratic deficit, but it has not cured those concerns. Discuss this statement and consider how concerns over the democratic legitimacy of the European Union ought to be addressed. Remember to contextualise your analysis against the backdrop of what the Lisbon Treaty was thought to have changed about the European Union’s prior formulation. Do not forget to attempt a thesis about how the concerns you raise could be addressed through suggested legal changes to the EU’s architecture, and how the suggested solutions would improve the EU’s democratic legitimacy.
