"Mr President, I would like to address Mr Barroso. You always tell the same story which is more of the same: more Europe, not less Europe. Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity was to keep on doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different result. You propose yet more swathes of legislation and yet more power to the EU. You have previously said that the EU must assume economic and financial fiscal governance of the Member States.
Where has all this centralisation of power actually got you? The EU underperforms economically with the rest of the world, mainly because of the burden of job-destroying and prosperity-restricting legislation. The crises in Greece and Italy have been, in part, caused by their membership of the European single currency. Instead of organising an orderly exit, they have had to sacrifice democratic government and have it replaced by rule by economists and technocrats. You propose yet more of the same thing and expect different results. One does not have to be Albert Einstein to predict the result."@en1
