non partisan comment on the European Union and Westminster politics

 

EUspeak

The EU Elites change the meaning of words or invent new words instead of using readily recognised words to explain what they mean then because they are using these new words they get away with making the most extreme statements.

In EUspeak democracy becomes populism “the political doctrine that supports the rights and powers of the common people in their struggle with the privileged elite”
Which of course presupposes that there is a political elite in the first place.

So therefore to help clear understanding in the item below I have change the word “populism” with the correct word “democracy” “The common people, considered as the primary source of political power”

From Euobserver
The real threat to the EU is the rising tide of democracy in key member states rather than the Franco-British clash between deeper political integration and a free trade Europe, according to Polish foreign minister Adam Rotfeld.

“I would say that the spectre that is hanging over Europe [today] is the spectre of democracy “, the minister told EUobserver on Wednesday (22 June), comparing the trend to the rise of communism in Europe in the 19th century.

He explained that the growth of anti-establishment feeling in countries such as France, Germany and Poland is the largest destabilising factor in Europe’s new security environment, which has moved on from the risk of military aggression.

“The main threats are within us, within the countries and not between us”, Mr Rotfeld stated.

The minister warned it would be a mistake to lay the blame on right-wing politicians such as Austria’s Jorg Haider or the French National Front chief Jean-Marie Le Pen. The main problem is the behaviour of the political elite.

” Democracy rests on the well-established parties, they are more and more democratic “, Mr Rotfeld indicated. “In order to win in new directions they use obviously democratic phraseology”.

The EU elites do not like democracy, it gets in the way of their plans for the people, that is why the EU is anti-democratic, as of course was communism which also purported to speak for the people.
