"Madam President, many of my colleagues here today have called for one voice for the European Union, indeed one mentioned ambassadors rather than heads of delegation. But surely that needs some type of federalism? The European Union does not have a mandate for that. That is why, in my view, the EEAS is fundamentally flawed.
I am sure it is a big problem for Baroness Ashton to carry out her duties when she cannot speak for all 27 nations. But I cannot help the feeling that she is part-author of her own problems. Of course she was leader of the Lords when she pushed through the Lisbon Treaty, when she argued there was no fundamental change of power. And here she is in fact really wanting more power. So which was it, Baroness Ashton? You know, you cannot have it both ways. The only way that the EU can actually speak with one voice is if it gives a mandate from the people.
One specific question that I would really like you to answer this afternoon: in what capacity, Baroness Ashton, were you at the Champions League final this year?"@en1
