Yes, Lightblue, he was not elected, but selected and I don`t like that.
I don`t know about Nigel Farage, but I know official British positions - wishing to have a president of EU, while not accepting half of it`s rules, for example the euro.
Of course, i don`t think European way of unification is the best (my country, for example has big problems with that), but my point was that this kind of attacks should be directed to different places, for example toward the national egoism of the biggest European countries who are functioning together in the Union only through "compromises"...with everything, including the direct elections. But, I will tell you, when you have direct elections for the President of the EU, THAT will be real path toward the destroying of the concept of Nation-states.
Which is different topic.
With respect.
