**Affirmed position.** Centre-left parties and the European Union presents the following source proposition: This book is about improving our understanding of political parties as democratic organisations in the context of multi-level governance. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The authors contend that the European Commission's goal of maximum harmonization through a global single rule book may not be achievable, and that a legal framework for private ordering of contingent capital is the more realistic route to an adequate level of convergence. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
