You hint at the probable outcome in...Eurocentric, <br /><br />You hint at the probable outcome in the European Parliament. Even if there was 1) a large anti-Barroso coalition on paper 2) much of it would consist of MEPs from national parties whose leaders (including heads of state or government) have already backed Barroso publicly or do so covertly 3) meaning that the coalition is almost guaranteed to crumble 4) except for some possible theatricals directed at the general public. <br /><br />The crucial factor is the resounding victory of the union of heads of state or government against the tender sprouts of a union of citizens. <br /><br />It is like having the Holy Alliance holding sway at European level, although we do have democracy at national level.<br /><br />The only chance we are given as citizens is to vote for a MEP candidate with a clear vision on a union based on citizens.Ralf Grahn https://www.blogger.com/profile/02156293782163802007noreply@blogger.com
