British UKIP leader Nigel Farage is still sticking it to the European Parliament. In this recent video he is shown telling the EP bureaucrats why Brexit succeeded and what he thinks of tiny little Belgium. As usual, it is quite funny.
One of the best reasons to come back here now and then, even though Gary plays the same themes over and over like a broken record or a looped tape, is that he always highlights the very best of Nigel Farage. Nigel would be a disaster as the executive of any government, but his critiques of the great liberal experiments are right on target. This was very amusing, and even a bit inspiring. A loose federation based on mutual agreements that serve common interests (there are some) might have been beneficial. But indeed, the people are showing no signs of wanting "more Europe." The whole project grows out of the 20th century liberal notion that people need to turn government over to experts who will make the right choices, assuming that the world is simply too complex for the people to know what is for their own good.
