This is symptomatic of the whole EU enterprise. You might ask how it is that a totally non-elected person like Baroness Ashton, the so-called High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Union and Vice President of the EU (I repeat, no one elected her bar a coterie of the elite in the EU) can call for the EU to be given a seat on the UN Security Council. By the way, the president of the EU is unelected as well. Oh, and the EU finances have not been passed by the auditors in 13 years.
I apologize for this off-topic comment but a little background for non-EU folk is useful in considering this latest EU nonsense regarding the internet.

- fauigerzigerk 16y agoCivil servants, government ministers and heads of state in many if not most democratic countries are not elected directly by the people. There's nothing special about the EU in that regard.
- omouse 16y agoIt's a symptom of government to reduce one's freedom and human rights.
- calpaterson 16y agoHaha! Complaining that no one elected Baroness Ashton is like saying that no one elected Georgy Zhukov - almost no one in the EU is elected.
