How Not To Set Up A Super State: the EU bis
Référendum: une "stupidité de dire qu'on va demander aux Français de recommencer" pour Henri Emmanuelli

"J'ai envie de leur dire mais 'Pour qui vous prenez-vous? Savez-vous ce qu'est le suffrage universel et allez-vous admettre une bonne fois pour toutes que la souveraineté appartient au peuple et pas aux technostructures libérales associées à l'Europe des actionnaires?", a poursuivi le député des Landes"
For the non-francophone, a quick translation:
"I'd like to say to them [Luxembourg's PM and the head of the EU Commission], "Who do you take yourselves for? Do you know what universal sufferage is, and will you admit in good faith for once that sovereignty is held by the people and not by the liberal [read free market oriented] technostructures associated with a Europe made up of partners?"
While I can't really sympathize with his stupid Leftist anti-liberal rhetoric (and it is highly ironic for the French elite to posture about sovereignty residing with the people and not the technocrats), but , well this is really a home run.
Most recent posturing by the EU eurocrats, the pro-Yes elites has the stink of contempt for a real democratic process. No plan B, Take It or Leave It, You're retrograde scum if you vote it down.
Nothing really positive.
The constitution, I predict now, is going down in flames. As it long deserved.
