""""""Whoever thought that we might win England?"a Belgian palaeo-federalist bellowed at me just now, beaming with joy. As the impeccably European Tony Barber blogs over at the FT, "Viewed from Brussels, the rise of Nick Clegg is a fantasy come true".
It's not just that the Lib Dems are goody-goody Euro-zealots. It's not just that they want to sign up to the few bits of the justice and home affairs agenda from which even Labour chose to stand aside. It's not just that they support the euro. It's not even that they'd be content to cede Britain's UN Security Council seat to the EU.
No, more important than any of this is that Nick Clegg is recognised by Eurocrats as One Of Us. A graduate of the College of Europe in Bruges, he went on to work in the European Commission before being elected to the European Parliament. In each of those three institutions, he was taught the them-and-us elitism that is the hallmark of the Eurocrat: the belief that voters are simple, often bigoted, souls, who require guidance from experts.
Cleggie proved that he was still One Of Us when, in his first major decision as Lib Dem leader, he went back on his party's promise of a referendum on the European Constitution. Even when the expenses revelations hit, the Lib Dems were careful not to call for a dissolution until Lisbon was safely ratified. Observe, once again, the EU's hideous strength: the way in which it makes its supporters eschew democracy in their own countries in order to keep the project on track."""""""""""
Dan has said it all aboput the Eurofanatical LibDems.
