Nigel Farage: a lesson in democracy

► European Parliament, Strasbourg - 6 May 2009.

It is the last plenary session before the European elections, 4-7 June 2009, and UKIP leader Nigel Farage MEP gives another lesson in Democracy. The parliament's president, Hans-Gert Pöttering reacts by pointing out that the fact Mr Farage "can give such a speech shows that this is a free and democratic European Parliament."

Kudos to Hans-Gert for having reached thus far in his understanding of democracy, but he needs more lessons.

Nigel Farage is a great man. He is a LEADER. I admire him very much and I hope one day in future Greece to have a politician like him. But now we have only betrayers.

The first time I seen this, I laughed when Buzek said that it is a free and democratic parliament.

@KaxiLaxi Resistance to what? A tyrannical central government where the people have no power and a few elites eventually destroy everything?

[KaxiLaxi]

this moron needs to be put in place! resistance is futile!

@player276 Communist countries were typically lead by a committee of unelected left-wing politicians who all shared the same views and did not tolerate opposition. The EU parliament is formed in this model. Every speech is a rallying call for "solidarity" and "unity", concepts which aren't compatible with a modern democratic parliament.

@kyzofact It's not Buzek, that's Pottering. I agree, it's just a stupid argument with no understanding of democracy

[Marco81blues]

great man.... I bet he changes his speach when he receives that fat check on the end of the month..
