"Mr President, for those who still cling to the European dream, Mr Juncker’s presidency has been a stunning failure. Under it the precious Constitution has been shipwrecked on the rocks of rejection and the budget is an unmitigated shambles, with rancour, as in Mr Juncker’s speech today, being its currency.
From this, however, some good could come. If the effect was to jolt European leaders into the same reality stream that many of their people already occupy, then a workable Europe could emerge. Root and branch changes are essential, in which the primacy of the nation state should be reestablished and Brussels centralisation reversed, with wide-ranging powers repatriated to national governments and parliaments. A Europe built on sovereign states trading and cooperating for mutual benefit, and not for the unworkable, unwanted ever-closer union, has some hope of success.
This present Europe, as your presidency demonstrates, Mr Juncker, cannot work."@en1
