"Mr President, Mr Barroso claims to be a good democrat. It is a very twisted form of democracy when he says that all of those political parties that get votes with which you do not agree are not relevant. It is a pretty obscene definition of democracy to decry those of us that believe in national democracy and European cooperation. Mr Barroso calls us populists, extremists, xenophobic and nationalistic.
Surely Mr Barroso, the point about democracy is that you engage in debate. You listen to what the other person has to say, you put it to the public and you accept the result. That is what real, genuine parliamentary democracy is about, and you seem to actually despise that and everything that those of us that stand for national democracy believe in. And to tell me that you are in this position because this Parliament voted for you! We were only given the chance to vote for one candidate! Is that your new model of European democracy?"@en1
