EU politics: a fog of incomprehension
Tuesday 16 July 2013
Possibly, Andrea Leadsom has done us an invaluable service in demonstrating the depth of incomprehension about the EU which afflicts certain segments of the Conservative Party.
This woman has inherited a view that comes straight out of an alternate universe, demonstrating unequivocally that there are groups of people – MPs amongst them – who do not have the first idea of what democracy really is.
If we were not already aware of the phenomenon, the depth of ignorance would be quite alarming. In fact, all further exposure does is reinforce the view that there is no mileage in any dialogue with people who cannot grasp the basics. A fog of incomprehension that thick is impenetrable. You don't argue with it. Like the Maginot Line, you go round it.
