EU supporter supports EU – shock!
EURreferendum -
This is the second time in weeks we have heard from this gentleman on the theme of the UK leaving the EU, and he is quite obviously a man who finds it easy to access the media, including the BBC. But what none of these informative media sources tells us is that Mr Eide is a fully paid-up europhile.
Crucially, during the 1994 referendum on Norwegian EU membership, he worked in the European Movement for the “yes” campaign, holding a senior position as project manager and acting Secretary General. He favoured EU entry then and he favours it now, even though nearly 80 percent of the population wants to stay outside the Evil Empire.
To no one’s surprise, therefore, this is a man now who tells us that there are “downsides” to staying outside the EU. “What we do not get is the same level of political influence we would have had as a member. It is good in that it gives you access to a market but it is problematic from a democratic perspective”, he says.
Passing by the rather interesting assertion that joining the EU might actually increase democracy, one might suggest that the antecedents of this man might actually be relevant when assessing what he has to say, but that is not what our media thinks. And nor indeed do we get any hint of it from the disgusting propaganda produced by Open Europe.
