EUROPE - JEAN-CLAUDE Juncker has issued a thinly-veiled broadside to Britain’s democracy, accusing politicians of being “part-time Europeans” who listen to their voters too much. In an outspoken address the EU chief accused “some of our colleagues” of listening to the wishes of their own people rather than pandering to the vested interests of the Brussels elite.
Mr Juncker claimed the “highly exciting” period which led to the catastrophic decision to create the Euro was now “totally gone” and had been replaced by division caused by certain countries wanting to look after their own people rather than the EU project. His comments may be interpreted as a poorly disguised attack on David Cameron and Britain, which is holding a referendum on its membership of the 28-nation bloc on June 23.
They are also likely to alarm pro-democracy campaigners after providing yet further evidence of the EU’s lurch towards federal centralisation and away from respecting the rights of individual member states’ right to self-determination.
The Vote Leave campaign blasted: "Juncker sees democracy as an inconvenience for his European Project." Mr Juncker's remarks come amid a series of deeply worrying EU initiatives which Brexit campaigners have warned will severely dent British sovereignty, including a drive to create an EU army and plans to station Euro police on our streets.
In a speech on the “State of the European Union” delivered yesterday, Mr Juncker said: “In former times, all those implied in the project were full-time Europeans. Now we have too many part-time Europeans. That is a problem because some of our colleagues in the European Council are listening exclusively to their national opinion.”
“And if you are listening to your national opinion, you are not developing what should be common European sense: a feeling for the need we have to put together our efforts. We are observing an increasing gap between public opinions and the European policy-makers. Unfortunately there is no European public opinion - the public opinions are still divided in national categories.”
His comments come amid a heightening resolve amongst Brussels bureaucrats to accelerate the pace of European federalisation. Spurred on by the Euro crisis and the spiralling migrant chaos, EU leaders are pushing through ever-closer integration in a number of areas from defence to security and border control.
As the situation in Europe gets more desperate, the truth is revealed to even the most casual observer: The European Union is simply not democratic!
Mr Junker is making this very clear by accusing some countries of listening to their voters rather than those who are seeking to create a United States of Europe. Many in Europe, some say a majority, do not want closer union.
Colin Ellis, Managing Director of financial analysts Moody’s told Breitbart London that a BREXIT combined with a surge of anti-EU politics will leave the crumbling of the union as a question of “when the system breaks, rather than if” financial analysts have claimed.
Another area of conflict is trade. Many in Europe do not want the TTIP agreement between Europe and the USA as it appears to give multinational companies more power than national governments. Yet again, this agreement has been negotiated in a totally undemocratic manner.
Watch what happens in the upcoming UK referendum – on June 23rd - it could well upset the status quo in Europe.

Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”
The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
