"Mr President, I want to pick up on this point about ‘disconnect’ which Michael Cashman rightly raised. Certainly in the Lisbon Treaty debate in Ireland there was a huge disconnect. But let us not blame ourselves here too much, because Member States have a great capacity to blame Europe for things they are uncomfortable with, even though they have agreed to them here. I think it is time we all grew up – all our elected politicians, governments, opposition and everyone in this House – and tell the truth.
I am dispirited to read this magazine this week where an unelected, unaccountable member of a wealthy elite is giving out about the unelected elite in Brussels. He has some cheek! But unless we do what Michael Cashman says and tackle him and his ilk upfront, the European elections in June will be a disaster for the people of Europe, and it is about time those of us who believe that said it loudly."@en1
