Yet if you look at what is happening in Europe at the moment, democracy seems to be furthest away from the people in power.
In both Italy and Greece, the political leaders that had been voted for have been replaced with unelected ‘money menâ€.
They are not even politicians and to make matters worse, they have been imposed on those countries by the also unelected mandarins of Brussels!The European Union has always had problems with democratic principles which they seem to see as an interfence into the grand designs of the unelected people at the top who know best.
The European Central Bank, run by unelected people, has immense power and it doesn’t run shy of imposing its will on elected politicians.
But how they come to their decisions isn’t known because no minutes of Central Bank meetings are published.
Yet the central banks of the world are supposed to accountable.
But what is clear, is that no matter who the people of the majority of countries vote for, actions are being dictated by the money men of the world.
In Europe, decisions are now taken by the Frankfurt Group, which is made of up eight people, including Merkel of Germany (who lost WW2), Sarkozy (Merkel’s pet French poodle), plus Draghi, the new president of the ECB – Jose Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Commission – Herman van Rompuy, the president of the European Council – Olli Rehn, Europe’s economic and monetary affairs commissioner – Jean-Claude Juncker, chairman of the Euro group.
These people are all powerful, they were never elected onto this group, the group is accountable to no one yet it makes all the financial decisions in Europe.
Who the fcuk gave Merkel and Sarkozy power over the rest of Europe?…and anyone who thought that David Cameron was wrong to veto this power had better think again.
