No wonder we (in England that is) are not in ecstasy over the EU. Just one instance:- Hans-Gert Pottering, President of the European Parliament, openly admitted that the behaviour of his Euro-sceptic opponents was within the rules and he was not asking to change those rules - a procedure that would take time. No, he simply wanted permission to disregard them. Permission was duly granted, by 20 committee votes to 3. Why make rules in the first place if you are going to ignore them anyway? This is EU democracy in action. Why oh! why are anti-Lisbon speakers “whiners” and pro Lisbon Treaty speakers are little angels.
