In the wake of the Dutch vote against allowing Ukraine into the EU, SPIEGEL is reporting the arrogance of EU ministers who criticize even allowing the people to vote. This is why I say they regard the people as simply the Great Unwashed who are simply beneath their level of intelligence to bother listening to. The leader of the Greens in the European Parliament, Rebecca Harms, explained why she and most in the EU Parliament are opposed any form of direct democracy allowing the people to vote. She says this would only come at the expense of Europe and will “jeopardize” the EU, which is their federalization dream. Her remarks make it very clear why Britain should exit or surrender their sovereignty.

Harms goes on to say that only 18% of the Dutch population turned out so they should be basically just ignored. The point is enough turned out in a non-binding referendum because they were passionate about the issue. Effectively, this is how government becomes disconnected from the people which historically leads to revolution. This also reflects their stubbornness to even remotely consider that just perhaps their idea of a federalized Europe does not work. Their policy of allowing in millions of Muslims is also at the heart of the Dutch referendum. That of course is not considered.

These comments are the justification for staying the course. There is nothing to prevent the crash and burn for that is the only time such people can be reversed by throwing them out of office. Politicians will NEVER even consider that their course of action is wrong. They will follow that course on any subject to the absolute end no matter what. Those is government operate the same way. Politicians, judges, and prosecutors, all maintain the position that they are NEVER wrong. Nobody will admit a mistake for the fear that would justify losing power. Hence, the crash and burn becomes the only possible outcome.
