Estonians vote 'yes' on EU; Swedes vote resounding 'no' on single currency. Not much to add to this Irish blogger's comments:
Back in my younger days I was a euro enthusiast, loving the ideal of a great and unified Europe, intent on pursuing peace and justice and blah blah blah.No more; am I not so naieve to believe that.
Europe is a dinosaur, it is an undemocratic shambles. It is an offence to the very idea of democracy. It is a travesty of global proportions. Thank you Sweden for giving a polite two fingers to Brussels.
John Fonte's justly famous 'transnational progressivist' essay (short version; long PDF version) indeed cites the EU as the very embodiment of what he calls 'post-democracy'. As many of the 'tranzi' policies are objectively anti-progress, however, I prefer to use the term 'transnational oligarchic collectivism', adapted from the book-within-a-book in George Orwell's 1984.
