"Less Transparent" than China: EU Presidential Appointment Process

[KVezdrevanis]

In China they don't exterminate elderly like Euro-Junta does in Greece.

[creativebollocks]

to say this "man" is just a chairman is just what the EU elite want you to think. Everything about the EU started as a small seed and grew whilst no one was watching. Initially the EU was a coal and steel union for a handful of countries. Look at it now. Detractors are labelled as loons or conspiracy theorists and the people are kept in the dark like mushrooms.

This video is totaly off point. You cant compare the EU president to the one in China of the USA. He is just the chairman of the Counsel of European leaders. Those leaders are elected democraticly. Stop scaring people. Fucking ignorant American pricks..

[slade420]

@072Alkmaar actually no, van Rompuy was not elected, he was installed by the builderberg group. look it up

[072Alkmaar]

hahah Yeah whatever....

[hashimirasama]

@slade420 It's the Counsel of European leaders who has the final word.

As "072Alkmaar" just said it's just a chairman with no executive power.

Every decision made is a consensus of the counsel for there isn't one man in charge.

[IMPLR1369007]

Government by consensus with individual thought subordinated to the group is already alive and well in the US, it's called the Democrat Party. If you feel I am wrong in this, just review how many items that Obama has suggested that have been defeated by the Dem Congress.

[Franzjosefderzweite]

So according to this video only referendums are democratic... when was the last time that there was a Referendum about primary federal law in the US?

If direct democracy would be the only valid democracy, we would all live in nondemocratic countries, the US included.

Who has directly elected the Speaker of the house in the US btw? A position of much much larger power than the President of the European Council.

Thank you to the brave reporter from Belga for daring raise this question. I hope he does not suffer reprisals--if he does, that would further prove his point.

US needs a BNP.

AMERICAN NATIONALIST PARTY.

Libertarians are delusional idiots, like all liberals.

[Mackingster]

The problem with our Libertarian party, it is a mostly run by ex-hippies and anarchists . Even Ayn Rand made this point about the Libertarian party. UKIP on the other hand I do see being ran by these types.

[xPythox]

@Mackingster What's wrong with hippies or anarchists?  They actually seem to have the right idea...

[MrBankRuns]

FTNWO

[Mackingster]

UKIP has made this point too. US needs a UKIP.

[NoTyranny]

Amen! UKIP= UK Independence Party.

from ukipDOTorg "Libertarian, non-racist party seeking Britain's withdrawal from the European Union."

[ValerieBarlow]

We have one (libertarian party) but the media mostly ignores or otherwise marginalises them. Ron Paul was one such example.
