The Road to Euro Serfdom has posted on a comment in the FT from Germany’s permanent representative to the EU from 1993 to 1999 Dietrich von Kyaw. Who is suggesting that the people are to stupid to have a say in their own countries government and the Constitution is to complicated for us to understand.

These Europhiles really are arrogant enough to believe that they are the only people who are intelligent enough to decide these things, and the rest of us should just get on with our lives and leave the real business of government to them, all they need us for is to contribute toward their plans by paying our taxes on time, and occasionally voting in the prescribed manner, of course the less we get to vote the better it is, because then they have not got to bother themselves with wasting to much time on the people.

his last paragraph when translated means something like this:
• The people are ignorant and stupid.
• They cannot be expected to make the right decision.
