  1.  @deankruse2891  You must be from the US? I suspect that you are not fully aware of the true condition of the EU & Britain. A true ally is one who tells those with whom he is allied when he believes they are making mistakes. Moreover, the vast majority of we 'lower orders' in Europe do, I believe, think that what Mr. Vance said had considerable merit.

  2.  @lachlanmaclean4003  Don't be silly. The very fact that none of the 'European Leaders' clapped was the surest proof of all that the speech had hit the intended mark.

  3.  @deankruse2891  You don't think that we peasants in Britain & the EU don't have legitimate concerns about the way our 'leaders' are taking Europe. 'Those situations' are not misrepresented, at least mot in the eyes of the rank and file European or Briton. Perhaps your media has been giving you a different view of events?

  4.  @JJRM8  Where have I complained about anything? I have simply presented a few inconvenient facts which shed a realistic light on the true state of British 'democracy.'

  5. Indeed, the Dear Leader's lads would be round to kick the front door in and arrest the speaker for a hate crime within a day.

  6. Just wait until the Labour government introduces Blasphemy laws, as they intend to do soon.

  7. The most revealing things of all were the faces of those in the audience who purport to be European leaders.

  8.  @deankruse2891  Well, consider this. The British 'First Past The Post' electoral system is far from democratic, although it might have been when there were only two serious political parties, firstly Tory/Liberal and later Tory/Labour. Now that there are several parties, it throws up a number of anomalies. To take the 2024 election as an example, the number of votes cast compared to the number of seats won reveals the number of votes needed to elect one MP was as follows :- Labour : 23,622. Conservative : 56,437, LibDem : 48,877, Reform : 823,522. This has resulted in a bizarre situation where a party which secured 19% of the potential votes of the electorate, and received 500,000 less votes than it did in the Labour catastrophe of 2019, now has an overwhelming majority. You would need to work very hard to convince anyone that that represents 'Democracy.'
