What's with the funny German? Are you saying you are an EU sceptic or are you mainly a germanophobe? You know that different dialects of German were just some of the many languages spoken in the Holy Roman Empire, and not the official ones, right? I agree that democracy in EU is far from perfect but no EU institution is beyond democratic control. All answer to democratly elected politicians.

Not a germanophobe; but that the trajectory of a single autocratic western empire (what would result from this police force in my view) is not a new idea, and infact the EU is to some extent simply an economic-focused philosophical follower-on of the holy roman empire, which in turn was the philosophical follower-on of the actual western roman empire.. The fact that the german central bank dominates the economic discussion does make for a bit of fun double entendre however.. which is not to say that this is either good nor bad - i'm of mixed feelings as concerns our view of historical systems.. it's just rediculous that it pretends to be some sort of 'free market democracy' > All answer to democratly elected politicians. In much the same way that when acting in cabinet, the 'prince electors' were still subject to their local populace.. it is a second tier.
