K 34. ‘And “subsidarity” means that the speaker is a spineless Europhiliac, slyly promoting more expansive governmental control.’

Er, not quite.

The principle of subsidiarity holds that a larger and greater body should not exercise functions which can be carried out efficiently by one smaller and lesser, but rather the former should support the latter and help to coordinate its activity with the activities of the whole community.

This principle defines subsidiarity as the idea that a central authority should have a subsidiary function, performing only those tasks which cannot be performed effectively at a more immediate or local level.

Although never so named, the Constitution assumes this in the delegation of powers, not withstanding the Yerps paying lip service to this important principle.
