Arrogance still rife amongst EU policy makers

Check out this press release from UNICE, a lobby organization which claims to speak for European businesses, although MKB-Nederland, the Dutch SMB organization, is not a member:

'The “no” from the Netherlands after the French one is more than a setback; it is a strong signal that the European project is badly perceived by European citizens. European policy-makers must reflect carefully on how to move forward. Deferring structural reforms is not an option but they have to be better explained and well understood.'

(Emphases mine.)

Or, in English: 'You poor ignorant voters. We understand you must feel confused. Let us explain why we know what's best for you one more time...'

Perception is not the problem. Policy is.

Off to bed now!

Because tomorrow morning, we'll be rounding up Jews and building new gas chambers!
