Democracy at work!

Now we know who they are?

Two unknowns have been not quite democratically elected, - by 27 out of 500 million, in a behind closed-doors fudged appointment, to be president of the council of the EU and high representative. Both will be able to speak for all 500 million of us, and one of them, Baroness Ashton has never been elected to anything and has no constituency.

Irrespective of their views, which a large majority of the voters in this country to do not support, they have no democratic mandate for anything.

I have always been committed to the idea of full cooperation in Europe, but I am afraid that the EU has now become almost comical in its so-called democracy. I have ceased to be a Lisbon Treaty/Constitution opponent and become a supporter of Britain's exit. I want no part of such a travesty which a relatively small number have engineered over us all.
