The Devil's Kitchen, Ian_QT notes the EU in 'sudden revelation of real agenda' mode:
Referenda and Democracy
The EU has now accumulated significant (bad) experiences with referenda. It was very delicately yet effectively communicated by the Romanian social-democrat MEPs: “The referendum in Ireland has demonstrated that direct democracy (by way of referendum) cannot ensure the progress of the European process.
The security, liberty and prosperity of hundreds of millions of
European citizens ask for complex leadership actions, which cannot be appreciated by heterogeneous populations, from the point of view of the information level and the education one.
European integration is a process that must be conducted politically by the elected representatives of the European citizens.”
He says:
This should be on every newspaper and news bulletin in Europe - with the headline 'This is what they think of you'.
Couldn't agree more...
