"Subsidies are one of the EU's ills. We are starting to subsidise subsidies too and I think we will end up successfully subsidising each other." Tomáš Pařík - "A free, secularised state lives on assumptions that it cannot guarantee itself. This is the great risk that democracy takes for the sake of freedom." Prof. Ernest-Wolfgang Böckenförde - "Democracy greatly corrupts morals. It habituates the public to blabbering, namely to boastfulness and slander." Jean Dutourd - "The EU is not Europe. It is an ideology without a country, without a nation, without roots, without a soul. The EU is slowly killing millennia of peoples." Marine Le Pen - "A united Europe is a classic utopian project, a monument to the vanity of intellectuals, a programme whose inevitable fate is ruin..." Margaret Thatcher - "The people are synonymous with the word "fart"." Jan Werich
A free handbook was available at the polling station: information on the principles and methods of voting in the European Parliament elections in the Czech Republic. It had 72 A5 pages published in all 24 EU languages. I did not see anyone in the polling station who had read it, or at least flicked through it. Who would be interested in information in 23 other languages when one is enough for me. Apparently it was more "efficient". It must have been printed in the number of EU voters. The number of eligible voters in the EU oddly enough does not give me Google? The population of EU countries is 450 million. The middle generation and older predominate. So let's take 300 million eligible voters for the calculation, so 300 million copies. Suppose the price of one copy was 5 kroner and we are at one and a half billion kroner literally 'blown up'! How many trees this represents, or what proportion of the forest has been cut down, I leave to the experts. Not to mention the fact that the necessary information was disseminated on social media and through the media, the latter being provided by the electoral commissions. One brochure thus tells us more about the EU than we know, if we exclude the possibility that it was another Czech 'speciality'. Who published it, when and the number of copies is not mentioned. Who would brag about it either. Perhaps another of the thousands of nonsensical EU laws and regulations has been broken...
The communists showed us where "all things equal" leads. The EU is asking for their fate.
