The headlines said it all this today “PM blocks EU-wide treaty changes” and the assumption is that the EU conference that started yesterday has been a failure. But has it?
First of all this conference wasn’t really about fixing the looming debt explosion that just about all EU countries face. After all how could it? We all know that the ‘solution’ will come via the printing presses of the ECB, FED and/of the IMF. Rather this conference should be seen in the light of ‘never letting a good crisis go to waste’.
What the unelected technocrats of Europe are really about is using the crisis to solidify Europe as a superstate and the increasing centralisation of power to those unelected faceless grey suits in Brussels.
But how to do it? You see if the gang meeting in Brussels did come out with a new all singing all dancing treaty they would face a rather huge problem. Namely that a new treaty would require votes through parliament and even a few referendums in some countries.
These guys in Brussels are a lot of things but stupid is one they are not. They know that they haven’t got a hope in hell in getting public support for more centralised power. No, far better to announce before the meeting that you’re trying to pass a new treaty only to wrap up the meeting seemingly in ‘failure’ because you only managed to agree an accord of the 17 euro using countries.
The genius of this is that it means they can get all the changes they were ever after with absolutely no pressure to hold a referendum on the matter. On top of that the UK PM Cameron get’s to come home looking like he ‘stood-up’ to the EU shoring up his increasingly discontent Tory base. Win-win for all our dear leaders and lose-lose for its citizens.
Too cynical for you? Remember this is the lot that are on record as saying that it is quite acceptable to lie to the electorate if it means propping up the long term goal of more centralied power.
In short the summit was only presented to the electorate as a failure so people wouldn’t notice the ever increasing erosion of national sovereignty and demand referendums. In fact we know this because the unelected leader of the unelected Italian government told us as much:
