The Nation State Is Over

That is the view of this unelected President*

We have together to fight the danger of a new Euro-scepticism. This is no longer the monopoly of a few countries. In every Member State, there are people who believe their country can survive alone in the globalised world. It is more than an illusion: it is a lie! The time of the homogeneous nation-state is over.

How dare all those people believe in their country. I mean really? Van Rompuy knows best! Personally I suspect that Mr Unelected will find out sooner or later that the views of those 'who believe' will be far more superior in numbers than him, and he will need that protection that he relies on.

IanPJ on Politics has a great post on Van Rompuy's views.

*Note: Van Rompuy is not only the President of the European Council but has also recently become de facto President of the Council of the European Union.
