This guy is the future; no wonder he's getting the hits on youtube. Noone else is saying this stuff which needs to be said.

He gets better and better.

I never thought anyone like that could get into any main stream party.

I would suspect that he isn't liked much by some high Concervatives MPs and Labout MPs haven't got a clue what he's talking about.

I feel his time will come,but this counrty will be on it's knees before that happens.

The current Labour government have done more to undemine democracy than any Labour Or Conservative government in history. We are at the most important point in history since the second world war and people like Hannon MUST be allowed to be seen on the TV by the people of this country. The conservatives must let him come to the front. Hannon is the ONLY man who currently speaks for the people!! Hannon for PM!

"The need to bolster Europe's military capabilities to match our aspirations is more urgent than ever" (Javier Solana).

I wonder why ?

Note the word "aspirations" and the way that "Europe" is once again miss-used instead of EU !

After Lisbon we will all be left with nothing but a Playmobil democracy and an undemocratic Legoland EU "parliament".

Dark days are coming.

Long live peace,real democracy and freedom.

I'm American and I like Hannon alot but he's dead wrong about Congress fine- tooth combing our stimulus bill before passage. If it was, then how come the bank execs got their bonuses? They got their bonuses because nothing in the stimulus bill said they couldn't. It was only after the fury of the public, did Congress read what they friggin' voted for!

Get real moron. You don't have a clue what you are twittering on about. The EU is an affront to democracy, and Mr Hannan grasciously opposes it. IT'S THAT SIMPLE!!!

I don't like the title of this video. Britain has democracy. The average Briton regards Mr. Hannan as a cook and his ideas as mean-spirited.

What the MEP is advocating is not a return to democracy, but a return to republicanism (something which, had your country explicitly endorsed at the time it began practicing it, would have greatly strengthened it).

Most Americans feel there wasn't much of a debate. Members of Congress had very little opportunity to review the enormous document, much less refute any of its proposals. Sadly, it was fear that drove the decisions of our elected officials to approve this massive spending, all of which will be saddled upon the backs of future generations. We have very few men left to lead us through the storm. That being said, I was encouraged to see spirit of the people alive in the recent tea parties.
