Euronews debate on next EU Parliament

A Euronews debate on the next EU mockery of a Parliament is linked here and is most revealing for this closing exchange:

Nigel Farage, IND/DEM: “What you’re saying Mr Shultz, the implications of what you are saying for the whole concept of democracy is truly terrifying. You’re saying we mustn’t ask the German people what they think, we must lead them, this is terrifying. I’ll never forget the day after the Irish voted ‘no’ you said in parliament that, ‘We must not bow to populism’, and I hope you will now apologise for that comment. It is absolutely… You are anti-democratic. You believe a ruling class knows what’s best for ordinary people. It’s monstrous.”

Martin Schulz, PSE: “It’s an honour to be called anti-democratic by you. Thank you!”
