"Mr President, today a single man, a single Commissioner from Malta is introducing a regulation – not a directive – but a rule that will impact on 800 000 anglers in the United Kingdom who spend their leisure time seeking fish but who are being told now by one man, unelected by them, and unelected by anybody in Europe, that they can only catch one fish.
It does not matter in this European Union about democracy; it does not matter about people power; it only matters about what the elites believe is right for them. Abraham Lincoln once said ‘no man is good enough to govern [...] without the other’s consent’. Oh pray, if only the European Union would understand the principle that ‘governance is by the people, for the people, and of the people’ to borrow another quote, not by themselves, for themselves, and only for themselves."@en1
