Because the argument of fragmentation simply does not hold in the European Parliament.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-sara-click-el=\"body_element\" data-area=\"text\" data-pos=\"3\">\n<div class=\"RichText lg:w-8\/12 md:w-10\/12 lg:mx-auto md:mx-auto lg:px-24 md:px-24 sm:px-16 break-words word-wrap\">\n<p>A percentage hurdle is always the first step in an intervention in our democracy.
