The British

No big
surprise, except to further strengthen British skeptic resolve and commitment to
giving the public a voice on the matter.
“More Europe” has lost momentum to carry a willing populace towards its goal of political union.
“More Europe” believes it can steamroll ahead
where the end justifies the means.
In the end Europeans and the world will see
the benefits of being led by technocrats and bureaucrats towards a new Utopian Spirit.
Plans are afoot in Brussels’ Rue De La Roi HQ to
present this operandus modi case to the public before the upcoming EU elections.
Maybe it has an audience, but
history has a way of repeating its past. Telling citizens they are no longer trusted in
their decision making process is to usher in Dictatorship. Albeit it commences benevolent,
altruistic, benign or otherwise, eventually, it becomes self-preserving,
paranoid and authoritarian.
French President
Hollande’s rebuff to the British can also be interpreted as a sign “More Europe”
is deciding its problem child should feel unwanted if not encouraged to vacate
the family home. But President Hollande
should know by now dysfunctional parents are also part of family problems.
