The
EU (Commission) is now democratically unsustainable. Financial
austerity imposed on sinner states Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Spain has led to genuine hardship, social
unrest and a rethink about the pursuit of the European federalist
dream.
Brussels
demands extra money from cash strapped taxpayers to fund "More Europe" provoking an open think process about what exactly is the
meaning of "More Europe." Many see "More Europe" as additional funding to
the already lavish gravy train lifestyle enjoyed by a greedy elitist group
who have little or no allegiance to Europe's citizens. People who sit
around Brussels dreaming up ways to enhance their Federalist goals
which most in Europe now regard as a dead ambition.
Recently
in Berlin, UK foreign secretary warned, "People feel that in too
many ways the EU is something that is done to them, not something
over which they have a say. People feel the EU is a
one-way process, a great machine that sucks up decision-making from
national parliaments to the European level until everything is
decided by the EU."
When
told there would be opposition to increasing their budgets “More
Europe”
employees took to protesting. They concluded "We demand that
member states have the courage to tell their citizens that a
reduction in the European budget would have, for all them, a higher
cost, the cost of no Europe, or the cost of less Europe."
What
does that mean exactly. Less Brussels bureaucracy, less meddling in
people's lives, less obnoxious sneering at the notion of nations
rights to self determination. Or less super stars manning the
watchtower against the pending doom facing Europe if citizens refuse
Brussels demands for "More Europe."
The
United Kingdom is a new champion in curtailing the excess of the
Babylonian Tribe of Dreams. It has told More
Europe "British voters are gloomy about the future of the
EU. It is clearer and clearer that the people of this country want out of the European Union. That public disillusionment with the
EU in Britain is the deepest it has ever been. And, that it may make
the whole EU institution democratically unsustainable in the UK."
You
see "More
Europe"
is not now regarded as being about safeguarding Europeans. It
has become the will of a Brussels colossus to feed
its growing appetite for power and glory to spend citizens money and to be well rewarded in doing so. It is a question over whether those whom
they instruct to embrace austerity are becoming serfs and wage slaves
to unpopular Eurocracy and banking plutocracy. Who plays who in
this game. Maybe it was just a bad week to ask the bosses for a wage rise.
