Unanimity of Thursday's votes points to EU Fascism

A feature of dictatorships around the world is the imitation they make of democratic procedures which they subsequently cannot resist manipulating to inevitably result in near unanimous decisions. Even Saddam Hussein used only to achieve about 98% of such votes however! Last Thursday the thoroughly worthless two candidates for the post of EU Council President and High Representative achieved unanimous support from the 27 democracy destroyers who once led a similar number of fully free and independent nation states. Such notions of freedom, democracy and independence will be gone on 1st December, just nine sole remaining days! Only nine days for one former sovereign nation to rescind their ratification of this dreadful Lisbon Treaty! Fat chance if their supposed democracy loving elected leaders are anything to go by. How can two candidates merely looking like they do ever have been appointed unanimously? Even less likely when considering their absence of credentials. The appointees are so lacking in credibility and experience that contacts of mine from across the world have reacted with contempt and derision. Perhaps a good thing as international repugnance at what is taking place in Europe is possibly one of the few hopes left for sanity, accountability and decency to be restored. Cannot Britain and France be removed from the UN Security Council and the other 25 nations removed from the UN General Assembly on the grounds that they now cease to exist as independent states? But would that let in the loathsome EU itself ? A dreadful possibility now that it has been granted a legal personality by the treacherous fawning fools we ourselves voted in and who have now appointed Hertz Van Rumplestiltskin (lovely illustration of the new EU President with the fairy tale princess halfway through the Wikipedia story, if you click on the name) and Baroness Mandelpawn. At least in the United Kingdom the reality of the disaster is about to be brought home, a brilliant illustration of our plight and the pretence of the power now missing from our elected representatives has appeared on another blog linked above and here. The Sunday Times this morning has its main article on Mandelson's new ambitions, linked here and here.

You know very well that unanimity is the strongest sign of decision-making of independent nation states.

This vote has shown again that member states rather don't overrule each other, that they stick to the principles of classical diplomacy instead of moving towards supranational majority voting (even though they would have the legal right by the Lisbon Treaty).

I share your criticism of the candidates, but I think they are a clear sign that EU member states rather opt for weak personalities that are not able to overrule their national sovereignty with their personality.

So in this case the undemocratic procedure does not only prove your point more or less wrong, it also produces the result that is best for not letting the Union become a fascist superstate.

But probably you know all that.
