EU flag crossed throughAs we all knew, the constitution is not dead, it is just pending the EU citizens realising their mistake.

I quote:

He said it was important to convince citizens of the relevance of the EU by creating jobs, improving security and protecting the environment.

(BBC News)

We all knew this, but the amazing thing is that they think the EU can create jobs (it’s excellent at destroying them), protect the environment (while stymieing technological advances that might reduce our reliance on oil and gas; and EU Serf’s post) and improve security (the Schengen agreement is great if it works at the external borders - and that’s a big if).

The EU is a political irrelevance. It is a hang-over from ‘old’ Europe where social protection of people living in non-meritocratic countries was the order of business. As the meritocratic advocates march on, the EU becomes more and more a hindrance to economic prosperity in Europe and contributes to the mistreatment of African traders forced to embrace so-called ‘Fair Trade’.
