Don't understand his hate, if he wanted to complain then he should complain at Blair and Brown because van Rompuy would not have been President if Brown did not agree, and Merkel and Sarkozy and the rest of the leaders.... Leaders voted by the population of their country choose a president for a job with almost no power and that is rather symbolic...I would call it hardly undemocratic....
I don't know how they will do it anyway...Let the population choose so we have in the next ten years forever a Turkish Eu president? And if they did it last time an German President? I can UKIP's reaction already 'Ein reich ein fuhrer, it took them long but they have now whole of Europe in their hands'...
I don't see how you can agree with someone who goes that low to attack someone's native country and looks..If I do that in this forum I get banned
The "Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer" thing was a little extreme, I'll admit.
But you have to be extreme to get through to these people. Belgium isn't a very important country in the scheme of things, nobody's heard of Van Rompuy, he did a pretty shitty job with Belgium himself, but none of that matters as much as the fact that a man who is ruling over 731 million people and earning €300,000 a year is unelected, incompetent, and completely unheard of.
The power of Overlord Rompuy is only likely to grow in the future. The whole Lisbon Treaty ruckus showed that any country's government is willing to ignore democracy when their masters in the European Union tell them to do so.
I'm not going to be quite as extreme as Nigel Farage and say that we all need to leave the European Union. What we need to do is to seriously restructure it into an alliance and a force for positive change, rather than an enormous government of dictators.
