"Mr President, the Prime Minister is taking on the Presidency of the EU at a time when unacceptable behaviour threatens democratic principles. Such behaviour has become endemic and institutionalised in the European Union. In recent months we have seen elected leaders being bullied out of office and replaced by unelected technocrats, by an over-dominant German leader and her French poodle. With a possible new treaty on the way, the EU apparatchiks are desperately looking for a new way to include all 27 countries without the need for a referendum. So much for democracy. No wonder people across Europe are rioting. The message is there for all to see, but the EU turns its head away. Prime Minister, you again hold the Presidency at a decisive moment: the possible demise of the euro. At a time of crisis and uncertainty the EU is looking to the Danish Presidency for a strong lead. How telling it is that a country from outside the eurozone is taking the helm. The EU is looking to the IMF to help bail out the troubled euro. How telling it is that the UK, a country from outside the eurozone, ridiculed and threatened here in December, has been asked to prop up the IMF at this time."@en1
