Zero Hedge — President Of The European Parliament: "It Is Not The EU Philosophy That The Crowd Can Decide Its Fate" [satire]

If anyone needs another confirmation that the European Union is fundamentally the most anti-democratic entity currently in existence, then the following statement by European Parliament Martin Schultz should put all confusion to rest.

Schulz: "The British have violated the rules. It is not the EU philosophy that the crowd can decide its fate".
It appears this is satire.

From the same post:

Deutsche Bank —
So there's no escaping the fact that this is a class war. Whether its globalisation, immigration, inequality, poor economic growth or a combination of all of them it's quite clear from this and other anti-establishment movements that the status quo can't last in a democracy. Eventually you'll have a reaction

It's not hard to imagine that this degree of arrogance could eventually prove detrimental to one's health. It's not always a good idea to taunt "the crowd".

As Mark Blyth has noted: "The Hamptons is not a defensible position...Eventually people will come for you."

So stop taunting them and instead learn to listen and ensure they get what they want. Otherwise hell will break loose, you snobbish, contemptuous and arrogant shit.

You know what, I have not seen any original version of It. ZeroHedge links someone who has added text to Schulz's picture. The rumor is, It is a satire. I first saw It when Richard Werner was tweeting it, he is now saying It was a satire.

Yes, EU is antidemocratic but both sides are spreading lies.

I couldn't find a quotable link either. Thanks for your note, Kristjan.
