"The appointment of Mr Junker as the new President of the European Commission is drearily predictable. David Cameron objected to Mr Junker, but was supported by only one of the other EU Member State leaders. It was something of a mystery as to why Mr Cameron objected so strongly to Mr Junker in the first place, given that if he had not been selected for the job the alternative was Martin Schulz, who is just as big a champion of political and economic integration as Mr Junker. Mr Cameron was of course just playing to the gallery back home in the hope that his ʽpluckyʼ opposition to Mr Junker would win him some sympathy and give him a rise in the opinion polls. It did not work. It is obvious to everyone that the course the EU is embarked upon is to create a United States of Europe, and it does not actually matter very much who is President of the Commission because the project is bigger than the man or woman sitting in that chair. If the British people do not like it then their only solution is to demand that Britain leaves the European Union."@en1
