In a caustic aside, Mr Bot mocked the "arrogance" of states "such as France" which threatened to expel those countries that rejected the constitution after a popular vote without daring to put the text to their own people.Huh?? France "arrogant"??
The Dutch are just now figuring all this out?

""The European Union is, after all, a union of member states. That is something we should never forget." I'd be very cautious if I were Dutch...
Jefferson Davis put forth the same arguement in 1860,
and look what happened.

"There is a widespread sense of unease about Europe, about loss of national identity, and about an EU that increasingly intrudes into their everyday lives. idiotic regulations "such as telling window cleaners how to hold ladders".
he said it was "ludicrous" that the EU was now deciding how many beds there should be in a hospital room.
"Is Europe really the best level at which to regulate landscape gardening?" he asked.
This little bit of totalitarianism bothers him? Just wait until the rightful ruler of Europe, France, crowns itself and really takes over!

Wherever they go, leftist bureacrats spread joy!
The world would be so much better off if the DC and Brussels control freaks could be sent to their own island nation to run as they see fit. I would suggest Cuba, but I like Cubans. I would suggest the Galapagos Islands, but I wouldn't want to piss off the Komodo Dragons. I hear Devil's Island, is available. Or maybe they could rule Antartica.

This reminds me of the joke with the punchline "we've already determined what you are, now we're just negotiating the price."
If the Euros are worried about which level of government will tell them how to hold their ladders, how many beds should be in a hospital room or how straight their bananas should be then they are already slaves. They are just arguing about which master owns them.

France is playing a great shell game -- most don't know that there are no peas under any of their cups, yet they continue to hold sway.

France my butt. The Dutch can handle the French. What the Dutch don't want is to be over-run yet one more time by the Germans.
