"Madam President, what will basically happen when this supranational constituency is created? I do not doubt Mr Duff’s good intentions, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The concrete result will be the creation of a supranational political European oligarchy. The reason for this is that the leaders of the large parties will guarantee their election for life in the European Parliament via this supranational list. The cost to European voters will be an extra EUR 100 million for each single parliamentary term. As regards gender equality and electing more national minorities to the European Parliament, I would like to address all my fellow Members and say that here we have as many men and women as voters in the EU countries have decided to send here. This is why, fellow Members, as long as you continue to act cleverer than your voters, look down at them and sing your praises to them, voter turnout will decrease."@en1
