lpv:translated text	"Mr President, typical statements contained in the Presidency’s draft conclusions concern the EU’s need to listen to people and need to conduct a dialogue with them. Statements of both these kinds envisage a situation involving two parties. Who, then, are the parties that in some sense confront each other? Curiously enough, it is the people of Europe and the establishment. This means that political representatives do not in practice see themselves as representatives of the people but as a group or establishment in opposition to the people. That is very unfortunate. That is why we are always so surprised and shaken at the results of our occasional referendums in Europe. The European party structure is completely out of date. Europeans cannot vote for their own parties and, at the same time, communicate their deep euroscepticism. That is something we must change in the future so that we do not continue with this undignified game. An establishment must listen to the people and be prepared to conduct a dialogue with them. The establishment must represent the people."@en1
