How the EU Is Underming Representative Government

Daniel Hannan, every liberty-lover's favorite British politician, recently took the European Commission to task for putting unelected bureaucrats in positions of high power. This comes in response to the appointment of Catherine Ashton, who has never been elected to any position, to the post of First-Vice-President of the European Comission.

Nonsense Economics

Daniel Hannan, a self-described "backbench" Member of the European Parliament representing Southeast England has overnight been catapulted into the public eye through the magic of the Internet. His short speech, in response to a load of self-aggrandizing drivel from the disgusting Gordon Brown, has today become the most watched video on the British YouTube, and accumulated over 150,000 views in less than 24 hours.
