EMOTIONAL INVOLVEMENT RECOMMENDED

John Bruton, the EU's ambassador to the US, offers a suggestion to improve the Union:

He said that citizens should be able to elect one major figure in the EU, such as the commission president, which may bring them closer to the union.

"The President of the Commission might be elected by the people and put to the European Parliament for approval. People would feel there is at least one person they can change."

This should tell anyone with even half a brain the EU's a farce.
