EU detests free elections

EUROPEAN UNION COMMISSION:

"Free elections? Way too dangerous!"

The EU Commission is a declared enemy of free and unfettered elections in its hemisphere. Referenda, plebiscites and even parliamentary elections are viewed as acceptable only if they suit the commission, and if the such verdicts from the electorate support and share the supreme Soviet's (soviet = commission, in Russian) policies and directives. If a country - let's say France, Ireland or Netherlands - dares to reject in a referendum some treaty of the EU as unsuitable, the full irate of the unelected Soviet befalls the sovereign country. As a result the Soviet imposes sanctions, such as: to increase the obligations of the 'gravy train' departing Dublin (or any other unwielding capital), increase the mandatory amount of taxpayers' money to unload in Brussels annually; to stop the flow of funds from the EU to the rebellious member state; to force a repeat of a referendum or an election until the desired result is delivered.

Not so? Look again; the most current case is Greece. The Greek people dared to stand up to the two parties that have dragged down Greece in the past 50 years, either alternately or together, and decimated PASOK and "New Democracy" to splinter parties, replacing them with parties that reflect the nation's fury over the betrayal ("high treason" would be a more accurate term). Such display of democratic willpower irritates an unelected body, one that expects 99.9% acclamation votes from its subjects. A vote like the one in Greece on May 6th, when those parties that delivered Greece to the EU in the past fell from 77% to 32%, and those parties opposing the punishing conditions slapped on Greece, is the ultimate threat to the authority in Brussels, and must not be allowed to stand. Hence, the new elections on June 17th.

The infamy now is that the EU Soviet demands that the parliamentary elections be linked to a plebiscite on eurozone membership. The speculation is that a majority of Greek voters oppose the bailout and austerity measures, but would like to remain in the eurozone. Therefore the Soviet wants the link of the elections with a eurozone membership referendum - a unique attempt of squashing the unfettered elections by fudging it with a forced referendum in contradiction of the very nature of such plebiscite and of Greek election law. The EU Soviet - without shame or inhibition - tries again to muscle a seemingly weak electorate into submission to its doctrines. Hopefully it will fail, and Greeks will vote exactly as they have decided on May 6th.
