More detailed idea on how legislation in supranational unions could work

I know I’ve already proposed this exact thing, I would edit the original post but it seems like I cannot edit posts I’ve made so instead I’m making this new request to add some more detail.

I’ve seen a lot of people propose unions of countries and a lot of them propose that countries could decide and vote on legislation, which you’ve already said is not something you want to do, which is why I think maybe an EU Parliament style of legislature could be better.

Like European elections, I think unions’ elections should be run in each country individually, kinda like just a normal election, to elect the amount of seats their country is allocated (it could be standard for all countries or it could be based on population). Parties should usually try to join union-level parties. For example, in a union between Country A, Country B and Country C:

• People’s Party includes National Rally from Country A, Republican Conservatives from Country A, People’s Alliance from Country B and the Conservative Party from Country C

• Socialist Alliance includes Social Democrats from Country A, Socialist Party from Country B, and Workers’ Socialist Party from Country C

• Workers’ Federation includes Workers’ Party from Country A, Communist Party from Country B, Workers’ Union from Country B and Communist Party from Country C

These parties would function like federations. I could see 2 ways of this being implemented:

• 1: For every piece of legislation, every member party votes on how the union-level party should vote together. Same for proposed legislation, where every member party can propose legislation for the union-level party to propose.

• 2: Every year maybe (early elections could be called if member parties want to or if the leader party disbands), member parties vote on who should become a leader party from a selection of parties that decided to be candidates. The party that becomes the leader party essentially represents the party and is the party in every way that matters. I think this is probably my favorite implementation because it would not only allow parties to focus on national politics but also make decision-making much faster since parties don’t actually have to vote. I think member parties should still be able to propose legislation for the leader party to review and potentially propose. I also think there should be a way to call for a party to disband or to merge with another party.

Not every national-level party has to subscribe to a union-level party. If you’re looking at a parliament chart, parties that aren’t members of any union-level party are shown as ‘Non-inscrits’, like in the EU.
I think there should be an option in the parliament chart to either see union-level parties or just see the national-level parties individually.

Non-inscrit parties would vote on their own instead of being represented by their union-level party.

Those ongoing election charts you see when an election is happening should probably have some choices. You could see only your country’s vote, the entire union’s vote, pick another country’s vote, and pick whether you wanna see how many votes each national party is getting or each union-level party is getting.

There should probably be a threshold to form a union-level party (like at least 5 parties). You can draft a union-level party which parties can pledge to join but until you have 5 parties, all those parties will just show up and function as Non-Inscrits.

If a party leadership election ends in a tie (I imagine that party leadership would be decided by a vote where each member party has the same weight), some kind of tie-breaking may be necessary. It could be left to random chance like some jurisdictions in real life, but maybe a runoff election between the top 2 parties could be more democratic.

The images above show how I imagine votes could be displayed.
