But, they always do! So, neurosis drives the EU....and Merkel is a neoliberal. What a deadly combination!

"The fact that neither German nor other European voters back these kinds of policies at home, yet the leaderships of Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Finland force them through on the European level, is a striking example of what is called the EU’s democracy deficit: policy made in backrooms by a handful of member states, which are accountable only to their own electorates."

This article is excellent!
