Away With Tyranny and Terror

This is my five hundredth post.

Are you an enemy of tyrrany and terror? If so, then you cannot possibly be in favour of more powers for the European "Parliament", a platform for Stalinists (in the technical sense of the term), Trotskyists, neo-Fascists, neo-Nazis, and people who believe the Provisional Army Council of the IRA to be the sovereign body throughout Ireland.

If the Council of Ministers (a legislative body of elected politicians) were made to meet in public, and to publish an Official Report akin to Hansard, then there would be no need for the European "Parliament", and it could just be abolished. But then, such are the vagaries of the electoral systems on the Continent that at least the first four of the above problems would still apply: as junior partners in coalition governments, such people would still be making, just as they do now, the laws under which we must live.

Furthermore, numerous members of the old nomenklatura, including three from within the Soviet Union itself, now sit on the all-powerful European Commission, while the conditions of some coalition or other will undoubtedly result in a neo-Fascist or neo-Nazi appointment thereto, sooner rather than later.

And all of this before the accession of Turkey...
