Tales of the unelected

Today, Prince Charles, heir to the throne, is going to address a committee of the European Parliament, about the usual green stuff.

Any new insights he might have will not have been offered to the British Parliament or any of its committees nor to any other UK organisation. He is going to Europe.

Here’s what he said the last time he went brown-nosing the Eurocrats: ‘Determination and principled leadership has never been more needed. Surely this is just the moment in history for which the European Union was created?‘

Someone needs to drill into Charles’ head

1 The European Union was not created to give determined, principled leadership. It was created to enforce the hegemony of a new political class, above election or electoral scrutiny.

2 In his own country (remember us, your Royal Highness?) the European Union is a contentious issue. By cosying up to them Charles is making a political point, and he is not supposed to be doing that

3 Our relationship with Europe is a constitutional matter, as is his own position, and I can assure HRH that if and when they finally seal the deal and absorb us into a united Europe, they won’t be wanting him. It is not only the British people who can turn Britain into a republic.
