The utter contempt that the EU shows to the people it governs is breathtaking. With every further accretion of power it becomes more and more arrogant. There is a complete disconnect between the people of Europe and their masters. National parliaments have had so many of their powers usurped that they are now etiolated to the point of superfluity. The size of the democratic deficit is so vast that one would think Europe would be on the point of revolution, but nearly half a billion people seem to be sleepwalking into a totalitarian superstate. Can liberty in Europe have been such a transient phenomenon? It appears so.
