The EU's legitimacy problem has two different aspects: apathy, leading to a low turnout in the European parliamentary elections, and outright euro-skepticism.
Many people confuse these two aspects of the EU's legitimacy problem, and believe that somehow turnout in European elections can be increased by pointing out to people how good and important the EU is.
