Cheers cheers! “Four European Presidents” Ian Traynor tells us in The Guardian today, “make proposals to ramp up the powers of Eurozone authorities over national governments.” And as if that weren’t bad enough (talk about arbitrary power!), we are then told who these four European Presidents are. They are none other than “the gang of four”, Rompuy, Draghi, Barroso and Juncker.
To quote Nigel Farage yet again “Just who are you?” Just where does this unelected, unaccountable, arrogant band of appointed officials find the nerve to propose a plan whereby European national governments will sacrifice more (or all of their) sovereignty to….? What? “Eurozone Authorites”? And what are Eurozone authorities? And how will they act? By fiat?
During the dictatorship in Greece the ‘authorities’ would declare “We have decided and we order” every time they slapped some new law or regulation on a captive people deprived of all their democratic rights. Is this the current vision for the future of a United Europe? No hampering democratic idiocies any more. Just Eurocrats deciding what they know is right completely ignoring what used to be known as “Citizens” or even “we the people”, and appointed by….? Whom exactly?
Well we all know the answer to that one of course! The Frau! And every successive German chancellor, who by the way, may consider scrapping elections altogether in Germany too. That would be a far more efficient way to run…. run what? Well an Empire with protectorates and subjugated people!
Hurray! We have finally hammered out the European ideal!
Fascism.
No thanks.
